Eskdale - The
overwhelming majority of birds of the corvid family in these parts are
jackdaws. Their calls and their spiralling flight displays are all around. In
the hills I have also seen ravens and crows. Early one morning I counted one
side of a perfect arrow, a skein of fifty geese. They were flying too high for
identification. I wonder if they are early winter arrivals.
Tarn Hows – A beautiful morning showed the small lake at its
beautiful best. A very tame dipper allowed for some close-up photographs. Later
as I completed the walk around the lake, a pair of goosander appeared on the
water. Their russet heads very distinctive against the blue waters, they dived
again and again searching for fish.
