29.04.23 : Drigg Sand dunes and Beach : Skylarks
Took a trip to the nature reserve and Drigg and had a wander through the dunes and onto the beach to see the Skylarks. A hundred or so larks were nesting and taking to the sky to call as soon as we got remotely close. These birds rise almost verticaly to about 30 feet and call loudly to distract attention from their nest which are on the ground above the dune grass. Good to see so many flourishing here once again this year
