We camped for two nights at Wasdale Head, under the shadows of Great Gable, Pillar and Scafell Pikes, and perhaps more importantly, right next to the Wasdale Head Inn! We had a couple of downpours, but generally the weather was excellent for walking, and thankfully was clear (eventually) on the summit of Great Gable. It was pretty poor for birds to be honest, just the odd Wheatear and Raven, or the occasional unexpected Yellowhammer, but the flowers were quite good. There were scattered patches of Starry Saxifrage and Yellow Mountain Saxifrage, though the latter was almost over for the year, as well as Bog Asphodel, Juniper, Golden Rod, Alpine Ladys Mantle, Eyebright and Wild Thyme.
