Black Combe and a weekend in South Lakes


At 600m Black Combe is the most south westerly hill in the Lake District. It's a nice walk with some great views over the LakeDistrict, the Duddon estuary and to the west the Isle of Man.  Best birds I saw was a family party of whinchats, but there were also a few nice dragonflies, most notably golden-ringed dragonfly and beautiful demoiselle.

It was a very nice view when the mist finally did clear.



These streams hold good populations of golden-ringed dragonfly.


Here's one that I photographed on Mull a few years ago. The UK's largest dragonfly.
