29.08.23 : Evening walk in Parkside, Cleator Moor, Cumbria

29.08.23 : An early morning walk from Calder Bridge along the river bank to the Abby and back, the light was a bit dark with clouds rolling in. There wasnt much about at first till a Dipper put in an appearence, and a happy half an hour was spent watching him fish for Cadis fly lava, then just as I was moving on a Stoat ran across the path and into the hedge, two minutes later and a couply of Grey Wagtails scared off the Dipper and flew along the river.

The afternoon we took a walk around Clints Quarry at Egremont, and were rewarded by six or seven Willow warblers.

I had hoped to go looking for the Barn Owl, but rain stopped play, but I did get to see a large female Hedgehog grabbing a drink from the dog bowl in the garden . Hopefully tomorrow Ill get chance to go looking for the Barn Owl, weather permitting, this is Cumbria after all !
