Mike Warren. Yesterday Barkbooth - saw two fleeting large Fritillaries - guess Dark Green but you never know. Othe pictures annotated - Meadow Browns tested focus. Dragonflies were thin - just one. Called at the Crag to check up on Peregrines. Fledglings are flying around and adults are in attendance. ... See MoreSee Less

Mike Warren. Yesterday to Middleton pools near Heysham. I had heard, and confirmed, that the main pool is fenced off making dragonfly spotting pretty much impossible. Shame so flowers instead! ... See MoreSee Less

Mike Warren. Silverdale and Arnside Arts Festival, stewarding at Leighton for the Landscape Trust's photographic exhibition. Still open today (28th). Took some time off to go to the Crag for a public event. Decent views of Peregrine in the flowers - on reflection I think it was one of the juveniles. Good bunch of people turned up - delighted to see the birds. On the way back took a drone view of the estuary - apart from the river channel it was covered in salt from the drying out of the damp residue of the tide. ... See MoreSee Less
