The Lakes

Little birding done sadly but a huge great house with well stocked feeders in the garden. Coal Tit and Great Spotted Woodpecker were regulars and other highlights included Nuthatch, Fieldfare and Tawny Owl. Other notables were a Peregrine on the A6 near Lancaster and a drake Goosander on Windermere. I did note a gaggle of birders in an odd location on the way home but then realised, after spotting a couple of road signs that it was the Forest of Bowland area so perhaps they were looking out for the Eagle Owls that have been breeding?? Who knows. On a sad note due to Jed having to have a spell in hospital we have had to cancel the week in Norfolk later in the month. Can't believe it that it comes through for that week. Oh well, maybe next year.
