Peregrines Warton Crag
Plenty of activity at Warton Crag this weekend. Pair of Peregrines seemed happy enough sat on the cliffs all day but they got 2 visits from another Peregrine and this stirred things up a bit. They got rid of it twice then went back to relaxing in peace and quiet.

Yarrow Buzzard
Approx 6 or 7 weeks ago I saw a Buzzard perched on a branch over the Yarrow staring into the river behaving as Cormorant would. I had never seen this before and discussed it with Gary (Lilley) over a pint. Today it was sat in excactly the same place, on a dead tree where the Sydbrook joins the Yarro...

Eccleston (Buzzards), Croston moss, Mawdesley 21/2/11

Kestrel on Grape Lane then 2 busy Kestrels on Croston moss. Up to 1000 Wood Pigeons but not much else on the mos...

Barn Owl

Probably a bit too far south, just by Bentley Brook after Jackson Lane?

Barn Owl
Whilst driving Mrs. Banks to a Valentine's day meal out, we pulled over on Bentley Lane, not for a spot of hanky panky but to watch a Barn Owl hunting over a field. Even though we were very close, the bird carried on undisturbed. Lovely sight, just as it was getting dark.

Waxwings
There are berries left on the tree. I am sorry but I don't know what sort of tree it is. They were inbetween 99 and 103 The Hawthorns, front garden. I have a photo but don't know how to post it. Not the best camera and not the best photographer but the Waxwing is clear.

Fallow Deer 29/11/10
Just been out again late afternoon and was rewarded with the sight of 4 Fallow Deer. One of them was dark in colour and blended in with the brown ferns and trees, but as Gary Lilley described last week, the other 3 are almost white. I dashed back home to get my daughter and they were still in the sa...
