First Blog...

Just to record my (our) sightings and wanderings. My home patch is the Upper Eden valley to the East of the English Lake District in Cumbria. Over the hill is Swaledale and round the corner Wensledale. "It's over there!" is our perennial cry whenever we spot something. Being limited in stamina, if its too far off the road then we cannot reach it so we depend on field glasses, scope, dslr for spotting & identification. Also local knowledge of where to stop and wait for that bird or animal to come by.

Travelling down the M6 yesterday highlights were three buzzards, over Ash Fell; East of Lancaster and over Prestbury. The latter being over suburbs (all be it posh suburbs with large semi woodland gardens).
