Around Cumbria

I had an early start this morning to give myself opportunity to call in again at Dalton Crags on my way "up north" to Cumbria. It was well worth the effort, with two great grey shrikes showing well around the trig point.

This is shrike number one hovering.

 And here is shrike number two!

At Lowick Green I stoppped to take this photo of the Old Man of Coniston  and then noticed that there was a red kite being mobbed by a corvid overhead!

 I didn't notice the pied wagtail until I looked at the photo on the computer screen!

Eiders at Haverigg.
