I have always wanted to visit this site as I used to frequent the area as a youth. Now a birder living in Suffolk any gen on the way to do it as I believe they will be present soon?

They're not guaranteed on Pendle hill or anywhere else for that matter, we always go up the "steps" to the top then search. Last year Plex Moss had the Dotterels with a flock of 17 (if I remember right) on the fields there.

It doesn't really matter how you get up providing you search the flatter areas at the top thoroughly when you are there. They are often near the trig point, but basically given the disturbance they can range quite widely when they are there.

Plex did do better last year but Pendle Hill is the best site in Lancashire over the years.

Notice they've been reported there most of the week so may have a walk up on Saturday, anyone know how many are there?
