We were treated late yesterday to a pied wagtail feeding her 2 fledgling chicks outside the house - on the road! :)

We got the full welcoming party just around the corner from the house today for some reason :)

On my local wanderings today I discovered we have push-me-pull-yous :) #cumbria #BeastsOfBlueSky
Here in north #cumbria, they’ve installed audible warnings on speed limit signs - I believe it’s called a Wireless Roadside Enforcement Notifier ;)

The geese that have overwintered here have been massing on the #Solway for the past couple of days. They’re doing their final preparations before heading off “home”: Svalbard, Faroe Islands, Iceland, etc.
It’s been a pleasure having them around :)

We have a paddock in the middle of the village, and this morning it has some brand new lambs in it :)

Really lucky yesterday to be able to watch a pod of dolphins go by from the cliffs at Tynemouth, North Shields - not a great picture, but the best I could manage from over 1km away!

On Wednesday, we watched this common redshank at Silloth in #cumbria sticking to its perch in the face of the incoming tide - we decided to call it King Canute ;)

Raining all day today in north #cumbria, so I’m reverting to a picture I took yesterday at our local nature reserve - a young wild roe deer buck, wondering why the dogs were looking at him ;)

Just back from an afternoon walk around our local nature reserve, #Watchtree in #Cumbria
Spotted this yellowhammer enjoying the late afternoon winter sun :)
