Red Grouse were abundant with many appearing at the roadside. The heather looked no more appetising than all-bran without milk, but they were getting stuck in anyway
There were many pairs of Lapwing dotted around the grassed areas between the heather
Just west of Edmundbyers there were a few Greylag feeding alongside the sheep whilst a couple of Buzzard hung motionless on the hill updraft

Dick, drove through Blanchland a few days ago on a non birding thing but failed to see any Red Grouse. It must be your younger eyes.

That heather doesn't sound the best.

Younger is one thing they are not. There are a lot about, with some wandering over the roads.
