by John Kirby
When John Kirby walks over the moor he takes his own recording apparatus. Each year the resident grouse plays host to a variety of birds. The call of the curlew mingles with the drumming of snipe, and shy birds like the golden plover betray their presence by distant call from the wind-swept grass.
