Sparrowhawk, Kestrel and a pair of Buzzard over Tinklers fields, the Buzzards were in the air together for well over an hour. Pair of Long Tailed Tits on Sydbrook Lane. I crossed the road to where I saw them and eventually found the nest. 60+ Curlew on north side of Yarrow.

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.

Saw a Fox opposite cricket field last night and also Friday morning. GS Woodpecker in Tinklers fields and then heard another on Grape Lane. 3 Buzzards in air together over Tinklers, then a single Buzzard near Corn Mill. 2 Cormorant flying from Euxton to Croston down the river. Plenty of Lapwings on ...

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...

Both Buzzards active in Tinklers Lane fields this afternoon, one moving from tree to tree, the other looking for worms on the ground. First Snipe for weeks, the dogs disturbed it near 'Rutters' pond. 6 Lapwings just off Sydbrook Lane. Lots of mixed tits including some Long Tailed between church brid...

Tinklers Lane Buzzard appears to have found a mate. I have seen the two together for last few days after months of only seeing the one, last year they were together from the 14th January. Kestrel on Grape Lane then 2 busy Kestrels on Croston moss. Up to 1000 Wood Pigeons but not much else on the mos...

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

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.

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.

2 Buzzard and a Kestrel Tinklers Lane fields. 20+ Curlew on north side of Yarrow and a few groups of Redwing. The highlight for me today was 8 Waxwing, as I have never seen one before. They were in a neighbours garden just as I set off walking. When I returned an hour and a half later there were sti...

5 Snipe opposite cricket field, Kestrel on the floor feeding on a small mammal, also a Woodcock in Tinklers fields. 4 Curlew on north side of river, 40+ Mallard in the air together, Cormorant flying down the river Euxton to Croston, another Kestrel perched in tree at church bridge. Sparrowhawk hunti...

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...

Most of the Sydbrook covered with ice but no ice on the Yarrow. 2 Buzzard and 2 Kestrel over Tinklers fields. Buzzard again over big wood on Grape Lane. Another Buzzard sat on fence post behind Croston Corn Mill, only 30 yards from footpath. 5 Snipe flying south over Yarrow.

Group of 10 Snipe in a soggy field. Buzzard perched in a tree wet through and 1 dead Mink flattened by a car on Grape Lane. All the remaining Swallows were feeding near the cattle (cattle poo).
