Langholm Moor

8th. Was keen to see Red Grouse & we were fortunate to see 2 birds in flight. Locals  told us RG are very scarce now & none were found up Mennock Pass, just Red-legged Partridges which the Game Keeper is putting down. Three Hen Harrier, 2♂️ 1♀️. Our first Whinchat of the year & a Cuckoo heard distantly. CB &CK.
