cragman 2,788 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Got two on my valleys, but not heard them this week. Had the male right in to me the other week. They'll be on with breeding now. Derwent valley near Ladybower reservoir is usually a good place to find them. Edited May 16, 2015 by cragman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
