Taking advantage of the beautiful weather, we headed up to the Lake District today and walked the spectacular Fairfield Horseshoe, a round walk from Ambleside of just over 11 miles and taking us to a height of 2864ft.
The views were spectacular, to the east High Street, to the north Helvelyn, and to the west Conniston Old Man and Scafell Pikes. It was a bit early for most of the migrants to be back, but Tree Pipit was new for the year, and there were a few Wheatears and Swallows.
Year: 207 (Tree Pipit)
