It's at this time of year that we begin to drive round the Anthorn Peninsula, on the way to my folks, so that we can see what birds are around. An unprepossessing start, but the Barnacle Geese were back and a delight to see. There were plenty of Teal, a couple of Shoveller, Golden Plover, Wigeon and Black-tailed Godwits .....and many, many Lapwing. Suddenly all of these dropped out of the sky and we had a brilliant view of a Marsh Harrier - excellent!
