Local Birds!

Had a wonderful party of 14 birdwatchers in this weekend from Bristol Ornithological Club, they were very fortunate with weather and spent some of  their time walking along the edge of the bay adjacent to The Craigwell to Hest Bank. They saw great Crested Grebes, Eiders, Red-breasted Mergansers, Goldeneye, Scaup,and a mix of gulls and waders including a Mediterranean Gull, Curlews, Oystercatchers, Redshank, Knot, Bar-tailed and  Black-tailed Godwits,  Dunlin, all being watched by a Peregrine.
Snow on the tips of the Lake District mountains last Thursday
