13.06.23 – 14.06.23 Parkside round up and West Cumbria explore
The hot westher continues and with it the birds are returning after nesting so its geeting busy again. In the garden we are seeing all the finches return ( Gold, Green, chaffinch and Long tailed) we have seen a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, a first for our garden, Jackdaws, Rooks and Ravens are busy feeding and the Starlings along with all the juviniles are back and fighting over the fatballs. The freshly cut grass fieds are loud with Oyster catchers and Curlews and the pond is busy with Swallows, House Martins, Swifts, Grey Herons and of course the Mallards with 19 Juveniles in tow, all fledged but still staying togethor.
Further away the Hares appear to be doing well, I have now identified 8 different adults and 3 Leverets, mostly they are now feeding alone apart from the odd mother and Leveret. Im looking forward to seeing the numbers grow now, o watch out for more photos coming soon !
