13.09.23 – 14.09.23 : Evening walks in Parkside, Cleator Moor, Cumbria, and further in West Cumbria for the Hares
13/09/23 – 14/09/23 : The gloomy weather has continued so short evening walks have been the order of the day. The fields and finaly the pond seem to be filling up with bird life again after a quiet month. The air is screaming with the calls of Swallows with a new late brood, the fields have flocks of Linnet and Wheatears and the trees are full of Buzzards and the odd Barn Owl.
The pond has also started to get back the birds that have been missing since a spell of avian flu killed two Herring gulls three months ago. We have a single Mute Swan, two Grey Herons and a juvinle Wigeon.
