The commuting Black-throated Diver decided that heading for Glasson (from Blea Tarn) was a better option this evening and we obviously failed to add it to the "seen from flypast list"
Big contrasts with the weather at the moment
Flesh-fly landing on the car in yesterdays sun at Middleton (Pete)
soft focus Shag by the harbour in driving rain this morning (Malcolm)
...................but a decent sunset this evening (Malcolm)
Todays birds
Shag - juv in the harbour mouth briefly in the rain at 0940
Pale-bellied Brent Goose - the two off horse paddocks on skeer late afternoon (flew in from north)
Chough - on Heysham Barrows at lunchtime
Med Gull - ad on shore by horse paddocks with the small gang of BHG (seemingly very regular here)
