I don't think I've ever seen or rarely see birds perched like this stonechat in the first photo #cumbriabirds
A few migrants around Barrow, Cumbria this morning made for a productive outing, including a Spotted Flycatcher, remarkably, I didn’t see a single one in Cumbria last year, and this is my second this month. #birds #cumbriabirds
A Sedge Warbler at Cavendish Dock, singing defiantly from the summit of a spectacular clump of Japanese Knotweed! #Birds #Cumbriabirds
Wow! Amazing to see an Osprey over Lake Windermere diving to catch fish yesterday morning. The osprey showed persistence despite being mobbed by gulls and corvids #cumbriabirds #borranspark
Lovely views of this singing common sandpiper on patch at Borrans Park, Ambleside this morning. Other highlights included a low fly over osprey heading NW down the Rydal Valley and a total of 61 species!
