Somehow, inbetween the drizzly and windy foulness of today, we managed to grab a quick walk and find a smidgen of sunshine. A visit to a new wood - Powter Howe near Keswick - a very damp, licheny, mossy and fungusy wood, which is home to Pied Flycatchers. Thanks to the birdwatcher that pointed us in their direction and together with the 'Merlin' Ap confirming their call - we saw two different male birds. No photographs of them though.

| Not looking really like Spring yet! |
 |
| Bark hosting numerous species in the damp! |
 |
| Moss, lichen and fungus. |
 |
| Many trees had large numbers of Hoof Fungus. |
 |
| 'Space' for Pied Flycatcher! |
 |
| A 'summit' cairn. |
