Annual family visit to lake district, started in the morning sun at Brother's Water where Tom found a male
Pied Flycatcher (a tick for him!) Shortly afterwards he had another (again self-found) tick with several short views of
Dipper. We then did well for raptors on the drive to our accommodation in Hawkshead, seeing several
Buzzards, a
Merlin (Tom missed it as usual) and a
Peregrine.
In the afternoon we went for a walk around Claife Heights and Latterbarrow, where we managed to see a
Spotted Flycatcher and three
Ravens.
