Hen harrier project info

Its been warm with no rain for about 2 weeks now, the garden could really do with a drink as my rainwater collecting butts are nearly empty.
No new bird species this weekend, very windy, not great conditions for birding.

Red, blue and blue-tailed damselflies around the ponds now but still very few butterflies.
I saw a dead rook fledgeling on the road at Clitheroe golf club. Bad place to build a rookery.....over a busy road. Also, a dead fox cub on Whalley road too.

Heres a link to my local newpapers first Hen harrier press release, and heres the link to the daily blog that should be giving daily updates soon - Hen harrier blog

My first duty as volunteer presenter is on Sunday June 1st.
