Despite the apparently exceptional birding on Horwich Moors, it was still pretty quiet on Wheelton Moor. The highlight this morning was a juvenile male Stonechat. Other than that, there were single Kestrel and Grey Wagtail, a few Meadow Pipit and umpteen Swallows skimming over the moorland grass.
Butterflies seen were a couple of Gatekeepers, and a Red Admiral.
