Thanks, Peter. Funnily enough i heard and saw Wood Warbler on Saturday at the first place you mention - in the woodland between the riverside walk footpath and the road to Derbyshire bridge. Just a little bit of clambering up the stream bed did it - got fabulous views of one singing its heart out. Also had great views of Tree Pipits (one feeding on the road about ten yards away from me) and a Great Spotted Woodpecker nest with a very vocal chick occsionally popping its head out.

Still no sign of any Whinchats though!

Mate of mine had whinchat ( and stonechat ,of course ) in Berry Clough last week - going to have another go myself , possibly today.
Didn't know ring ouzels were still around Derbyshire Bridge - haven't seen them there for 1 or 2 years now?
 
did not see the ringed ouzel at derbyshire bridge it was at dane boller hollow quarrycaught a bus to buxton and walked over burbage edge then to dane then back by derbyshire bridge and the resses and valley also their was a drake mandrin and a pintail in the pravilion gardens in the river
 
Nipped up there this morning and finally found a whinchat ! It was singing away but quite hard to see. Drive just past Berry Clough and park in one of the next places on the right . The bird was on the opposite hillside ( across the stream ) in newly growing bracken - about level with the road.
