At least 20 Swifts over Ash Grove in Chorley this evening, screeching and wheeling around the houses.
Fantastic watching their aerobatics.

First pair of Swifts are back over Pilling Lane this evening, lovely to hear them screeching overhead.

Sorry Paul, just seen this.
It was near Astley Hall where there are hundreds of mining bees.

Thanks Gareth

Please can anyone i.d. this fly from the poor quality phone pic.
It had a very distinctive white face.
Seen in Astley Park

Nice one Len

Hundreds of Ashy Mining Bees with a few Tawny Mining Bees on the lawned area near Cafe Ambio in Astley Park.
Also 1 Tawny Mining bee on the steps down to Morrisons from King St.

Lovely detailed pic Peter.

A Red Kite was circling over Chorley Business and Technology Ctr off Euxton Lane yesterday at 4.10pm.
A pleasant surprise, I watched it as I was sat in the car park waiting for my wife to finish work.
After a couple of minutes it drifted off to the West.

Hope you are better now Nora.

Great images Len
I particularly like the cheeky Stoat

1 female Goosander on Astley Hall lake, and on the way home there was 1 Raven calling repeatedly from the top of the police station.
