Out and About..May 2019

I am now becoming more active and I have been able to get out and about during May.It has been a dry month and at times quite warm.There has also been a northerly element to the wind and this has slowed growth and activity particularly in the North of the country.Towards the end of the month some much needed rain arrived.The month is ending on a cloudy but muggy note.

I visited the local great crested grebes again to find that they are now incubating three eggs.I will not visit again for a while so as not to disturb the birds. Hopefully the young will hatch and fledge and I look forward to my next visit to see what progress has been made.A walk along the Lune Valley from Caton was excellent and I enjoyed nice views of a dipper which had a nest close by and a family of goosanders,six beautifully marked chicks accompanied by mum. A nice Little Ringed Plover was on view at RSPB Marshside and gave excellent photographic opportunities.Finally a visit to a wader roost at Plover Scar Cockerham was superb with many dunlin and Ringed Plover allowing a close approach and some nice flight shots.The sea wall at Cockerham Abbey looked magnificent being covered in Thrift and other flowers. I have shown images below from these outings and hope you enjoy them as much as I did when taking them.I have also visited the Lake District to keep up to date with the expanding population of ospreys and I will post images at a later date when the chicks have grown and keeping the parents busy with feeding duties.Also shown below summer plumaged sanderling at Rossall.

Thanks for looking in and I will be out and about soon to bring you more of our wonderful wildlife.
