More from Cumbria

Sorry I missed yesterday but lets start with a shot I left out of Mondays Blog these were actually taken by Steve




This Buzzard put on a great display for us as we walked along to Eltermere.
Tuesday we went over to St Bees Head via Wrynose & Hardknott Passes. It was grey and over cast with a brisk south westerly and though the expected Auks had not arrived we did see a lot of bird life all be them mainly gulls with just a half dozen Guillemots on the cliffs a single Kittiwake some stunning Great Black-backed Gulls, Jackdaws and a trio of Raven. On return to the car park we found a Pied Wagtail and three Rock Pipits, not a bad day really. Photos by Steve H and Alice.
