Young hare in field over Oldham way, never seen one round them parts before.
Hills and Guinness!
Pretty sure there was a Ring Ouzel in William Clough yesterday evening. Didn't get a full-frontal view, but it sounded good.
Saw a pair Red kite’s soaring over Harewood House yesterday. Looked amazing.
I've learnt so much from my mistakes, I'm actually thinking about making a few more.
Thats a coincidence. we saw a very young one today, Couldn't have been much bigger than my fist. up By the summit of Margery Hill, actually I've seen more Hares today than in a very long tome, must have been close to 100 but I was out for a loooong time. Lots of Curlews, grouse, small BofPrey but too fast and low to work out what it was
There have been pairs in Jaggers and Blackden in recent years although not seen one recently.
Saw loads of hares today on middle moss and featherbed moss (near margery hill), at least 7 adults and 5 juveniles. Also a few curlews, loads of grouse and some small birds of prey. Only out for 2 hours, so pretty impressed with that.
I'm sure one of the hares was a pacemaker - kept running ahead of me on the way across to margery hill, and then looking back to see if I was still there!
Saw & heard first Skylarks of the year on today's run. Whinfell Ridge from Hucks Bridge on A6 nr Kendal/Shap
Fantastic bird song
