    A good bird of prey trilogy on our jaunt round the NW fells today. A few buzzards, a couple of kestrels and a cracking view of a peregrine screaming overhead on our way up Grisdale Pike.

    We saw a barn owl this (early) morning between Pike low and Margary Hill. Also found a Skull and skeleton of a bird of prey! There was an broken egg near by but couldn't find any evidence of a trap etc.
    Info will be passed on to the relevant authority just incase. I've got the skull if any one wants a pic to try and identify it?
    We were about 2 miles from the place I found the untended traps!!

    Two mice (named Wilfred and Primrose by my daughter) who visited us each evening while camping in the lakes. They especially liked doritos and grapes and, come the end of the week, would scuttle out and take them from our hands
