Fleeting glimpses of this youngster, were the first we've seen at the location in 5 years. This grainy woodland image is hopefully proof of breeding resuming again here.

I am standing on the Staffordshire side of the River Manifold. The view beyond encompasses the Derbyshire side of the Peak District village. The view includes the Grade II-listed Mary Watts-Russell Memorial Cross, a 19th century monument in the style of a medieval Eleanor Cross.

Where the Staffordshire Moorlands meet the Peak District. On the border of Staffordshire and Derbyshire, the village of Ilam can be glimpsed at the right. The pyramidal White Peak is a notable landmark.

The Staffordshire Moorlands village lies close to Dovedale. (The River Dove marks the border with Derbyshire.) Blore’s Grade 1-listed parish church dates from around 1100 and has been little altered during the past 400 years.

Little-altered during the past 400 hundred years, the Staffordshire Moorlands church basks in the sharp winter light.

The North Staffordshire Moors pub is renowned not just for good food and beer but also as a veritable Alladin’s Cave of antiques and artefacts. These include a working player-piano and a Victorian juke box. I visited with my father one wintry Saturday, when ice from an earlier snowfall remained on the ground. We exchanged our modern money for £sd coins to operate the antique machines and had a hoot.
That was a memorable day in my life 36 years ago, and to my delight, the Yew Tree Inn still welcomes visitors today. The player-piano still works and uses the old money. The pub’s website states that times have been challenging of late, so I urge all Flickr friends who live nearby to drop in and have some fun.
