Here is the presentation area at the Bowland visitor centre. It was very busy today, probably cos the rain chased people into the centre. Time flew by, probably a good thing as I'm on duty next Sat and Sun.
The four (remaining) chicks put on a good display with mum getting off them every time a large group arrived at the centre. 2 meadow pipits, 1 very small rabbit and 1 "dunno" were the meals that were fed to the chicks. The "dunno" had obviously been half eaten by the male bird and was thus unrecognisable.
Here is the latest youtube video upload.
I met another birding couple of the surname Mitchell who seemed enthusiastic to visit "Twitch with Mitch" as their namesake. Its quite nice just to sit at the centre discussing the harriers and any other birding subjects that come up.
The feeders at the back of the centre are empty, but still attracted this field vole.
I went for a walk around this morning but failed to find anything new for my uk 08 list
I was hoping for crossbill or even a redstart or tree pipit.
Other news
I got a snap of our bald robin at last, poor thing! I think its a female and has probably bred this year!
Loads of starlings have taken over the garden with their young......
.......and Treakle has also been wading through the red campion, buttercups and speedwell to visit the tawny owls in the corner.
Also, Jill saw a fox at the cattle grid the other night and Tony told me he saw and heard a cuckoo in the back field (dead tree) whilst I was at work last week.
