A couple of days break Friday and Saturday in the Lake District with the Mrs, lots of nice scenery
and apart from Saturday morning the weather was ok, not really birding but you
can’t but help noticing stuff, highlights were my first Wheatears of the year down the Honister Pass and Buzzards and Ravens aplenty flying about. We stayed at Rothay Manor in Ambleside, very nice Hotel but a rubbish breakfast, after a wander around Bowness on Saturday morning we had a good tour around taking in many of the water bodies, nice break thoroughly enjoyed it.

Out birding just for the morning this morning, I had strict orders to put together some new garden furniture this afternoon, decided on Blacktoft Sands, not a right lot happening but I year ticked Cetti’Warbler, at least seven singing, Blackcap, Green Sandpiper and Bittern which was booming well all
morning, Marsh Harriers were also
very active with one or two pairs sky dancing.
