it dived through that deep snow to catch its prize.
A couple of new BO pairs have come to light up there recently, with Mr Gavsterley locating a pair hunting yestday afternoon close to moorland edge @ 250/300 m/asl.
These are faring okay, but what above those further way out west & a lot higher up . . .
We found a Barnie roosting late in 2008 at 460m/asl (the highest elevated county record to date) - it made it through a couple of weeks of snow cover last year - not sure how it will have managed since mid December though . . .
