 24.05.23 – 29.05.23  Wanderings around home and West Cumbria 

Spring is well and truely here with all the birds nesting and lots of young about. The Swallows, House martins and Swifts are all back and with young. The pond is full of Mallard duckings and most have survived, to date we have counted 21 young Mallards make it through to fledging. We have even had a Gooseander brood of 7 this year for the first time, and two Oyster catchers.

Further afield in West Cumbria the Hares seem to be doing well with at least five adults and three leverets at my favourite spot.

Good to be back in the UK and looking forward to any more finds in the upcoming days
