Hope they're a good omen
classic, absolute classicHope they're a good omen:w00t:
Would be good to video but too far south for me to travel.
Photo of the guilty bird taken with my phone just before it attacked.....

It was clearly offended at getting 'papped' :w00t:.
Or it was a Pennine fan :thunbdown:.
Or it just objected to your 'provocative' running :wink:.
Im not a 100% but I think we saw a Merlin just south of Cockermouth - I dont know if they are / can be confirmed that they are around there. It was smaller than a kestrel and flew fast chasing something in the air - very agile.
Again not sure what it was but saw a huge f*** off bird, much larger than a buzzard, brown in colour soaring high when we were driving up Hardknott Pass. Dont know what it was but if I was in Scotland I would have said it was a Golden Eagle - any ideas on what these may have been??
There are Eagles in the lakes so it could have been if not A Kite?
Sounds like a merlin.
They generally drift off the moorlands and often hunt the shoreline in winter.
Im sure it was not a Kite - it was bloody huge and there was no 'V' in its tail - it was square, it was not like any of the Red Kites Ive seen in the past anyway - I was busy watching it and nearly drove off the road down a steep drop to our lasses horror !! lol
...Makes my spotting of three Roe deer sound a little lame. Oh, and a grouse or twenty.
And some sheep
