Buzzards abound

Fresh snow two nights ago (Blencathra)

A beautiful morning again this morning, wall to wall blue sky. So the Westies and I decided to make the most of it and we set off up Thacka. There was all the usual to be seen in the hedges -- Blue & Great tits, a pair of Dunnock, Chaffinches, and various corvids. We continued on till we reached the river Petteril in the hope of Dipper or Kingfisher, I was in luck with the latter, I herd it first , then it flashed past me going upstream.
On the way back through Thacka not one but six Buzzards circling an incredible sight, and very enjoyable morning.
