The Birds are busy again after this very quiet period. Looks like all the young have fledged, here are a few that i took this week.
Can i thank the few people that came down to the Hide last Thursday to help plant 3 new Shrubs and move some heavy logs about. They also help cut the grass back on the path area.

Me and Ruth went for our lunch by the river in Kirkby Lonsdale when a Grey Heron flew past and started to fish, this was a great treat as the Heron is so hard to get close to. Think it must have been last years young as it let me film with a bit of… Read more »
