LANCS: Local Celebrity.


Called in on the Eagle Owl site this morning and could just about see one sitting in the heather in the gloomy conditions. These birds attracted a lot of attention a couple of years ago when their presence was put out in the public domain. I've bumped into a few visitors this year but there are strict regulation that any birder should adhere to. They are readily available on the excellent Lancaster & District Bird Watching Society's website here.
Another Whinchat today, this time a male and in the same place I saw a lone female yesterday. Located it by its "bullfinch call" so yesterday's efforts were worthwhile as I'd never heard this before. Single Painted Lady again this morning on the slopes and Stonechats with young notable as well.
