So last night as the weather was good, we went up togeather, and sure enough there was small flocks of Starlings comming in to roost on a pylon.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJ0ZPC70tdlg6gaB9vVo2Z6zR76STvUwRSEmcBg78VWH5yw9WQd1l4WXy8SVPYRBP7fMvKg22j71jW9ipUV_hKjS0x-aZS6Rg_mgzUEBQZAQpbM0CMvD6rCbQUsKsbXVSNBfdtcUDIbs/s2048/DSC_0027.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

A good portion of the Thacka area is bordered to the East by the main London to Glasgow railway and to the West by the ever noisy M6 motorway. This group of stunted trees stands about 30 feet from the railway track. And some are Elderberry, which at the moment are laden with fruit and attracting quite a variety of birds. The two just visible above are Gold Finches.<br />

We are gradually getting into Autumn and already there is that familiar smell of decaying bracken and leaves, and added to those in the area I was in was the smell of cattle and sheep. Its always pleasant to smell sheep when climbing the Fells and the Mountains, it all goes with the pleasant experience and gets filed away in the happy memory folder of the mined.<br />

Some Swallows have already been seen in parts of the country heading South, but this little fella and his nest buddies although flying , are still being fed by their parents, so wont be heading South just yet. Also in resent years Swallows have been tending to linger much later into the year, could have something to do with the climate change, as we have milder Septembers and Octobers, so still plenty of insects about.<br />

Now it is said (mainly by farmers) that farmers are the guardians of the countryside, not entirely true, as a vast amount of wild life has been lost because of modern farming practises. As regards certain species of bird we have lost as much as 70 to 80 present.<br />

This is one of my pet hates, hedge on the left great full of wild life plenty of cover for birds insects and mammals, hedge on the right been totally mutilated by the local farmer , why do they have to do it ? the hedge on the right has been cut at that height for so long, it has made it very compact, giving wild life little chance to penetrate.<br />

And yet the amount of wild life to be found right by a busy motorway junction is amazing, above is the very common Oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare)<br />

And so nearly home, only two more pedestrian crossing to negotiate !!<br /><br />Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08597183740897488160noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478836768669648604.post-85729132762989281952017-09-03T14:11:00.000+01:002017-09-03T14:11:55.574+01:00A walk to the River Eamont, Cumbria.Mid week I decided to have a walk to the river Eamont , the stretch of the river I decided to have a look at lies due South of Penrith. There is a downside to walking to this stretch of the river, and that is escaping the town to get to the footpath that takes you to it.The reason being there is a grand total of 7 traffic light pedestrian crossings, ,8 if I took another route. Most of these are on the very busy junction 40 of the M6 motorway, and the equally busy A66, talk about your life in their hands. and of course all this has to be done in reverse on the way home.<br />
After having safely negotiated the A66 to get to the South side of it, a short walk brings you to a little wrought iron gate in a fence(blink and you would miss it) I had no sooner set off on the footpath when a Partridge struck up from the edge of the field to my right, its flight was too sudden and too fast for a positive id, but as it was a single bird I judged it to be a Red-legged Partridge rather than Grey Partridge as Greys tend to move around in parties rather than singly.<br />

After about 50 yards of overgrown path we are confronted by this double narrow and a bit spooky tunnels, they carry the two railway lines North and South London to Glasgow. They are very well constructed and it leaves one wondering why such great engineering has been undertaken just for a footpath, as they are too narrow for a vehicle of any kind. The only other thing that comes to mind is , in the past it may have been through way for Sheep and cattle, to get from one grazing area to another, or one farm to another.<br />

This first stretch of the path is also in shade for most of the day, the above plant is a shade loving plant so I wasn't surprised when I found it . The flower of Lords-and-Ladies (Arum haculatum)<br />
After the tunnels we are out in the sunshine and apart from wet feet (not having anticipated the heavy dew) its a grand morning.<br />

From now on the footpath follows more or less a straight line through grazing/pasture land with the occasional stile to negotiate, or gate to open , making sure it is secure again to prevent escaping sheep or cattle.<br />

Then it obliged with a partial front view, now Willow warblers and Chiff Chaff are very hard to tell apart, and the bird was quiet, so just on leg colouration and darkish cap I'm going with Chiff Chaff, what do you think Phil?<br />
So as regards bird life that was about it, an enjoyable walk, and a few more picies to come from that walk.<br />

Sunday dawned sunny and warm, so after a slow start to the day we finally set off, heading up the M6 turning off at Carlisle then making our way to the estuary road starting at Burgh by Sands and continuing along the road all the way to RSPB Campfield marsh. In the photo below, looking across the Solway the hills of Dumfries & Galloway Southern Scotland. can be seen through a drizzly haze.<br />

We were on the wrong side of the tide, it being well out, which meant virtually all the waders etc where well out on the massive expanse of sand, and even the big lens couldn't bring them close.<br />

With the bins there was a good variety of birds, in one area quite a raft of Golden Plover , also one or two Lapwing, Curlew where dotted around and mixed in with the other waders.<br />

The only waders the lens could pull in was a few Redshanks.<br />
<br />
The weather started to change as we pulled into North Plain farm where the RSPB have a small visitor centre and is right next to the marsh. Alas there was very little to be seen, a couple of days back there had been 26 Little Egrets, another move North for this species, and with so many about , they must be roosting close by. Close to the centre a field had been planted with various types of seed, and one or two linnets and Gold finches were seen flitting in and out, but to fast for the lens.<br />
By 2pm the weather has turned nasty so it was decided we should head home.<br />

Quite a bit of colour in the area in the way of berries, with good crops of Mountain ash or Rowan both names can apply the botanical name is Sorbus, and also Hawthorn (Crataegus) so there shouldn't be any shortage of food for the birds this coming Autumn/winter.<br />

There is a surfaced bridal way that borders the North East corner of the reserve , and can be followed all the way to Newton Rigg collage and passes under the M6 motorway. For most part it is bordered by horse paddocks,and at one point there is a gravelled drive leads off to some horse stables. Part way along this drive I could see a tree loaded with fruit, on closer inspection they turned out to be Plums, and again a very good crop, how they came to be planted where they are is a mystery.<br />

However it turned out not to be much good on both fronts, as regards birds , I missed the best photo opportunity when amazingly a Buzzard flew over and I only had my small lens on the camera, and I say amazingly, because if we see a Buzzard in this part of Cunbria these days it is amazing, simply because they are being shot or poisoned out of existence, all in the name of protecting the shooting estates.<br />

On the butterfly front the best that could be found was these Small Tortoiseshell there was a few Large Whites on the wing but nothing else, in spite of the weather conditions being very good for them. I've heard other people comment on the lack of sightings too, something seems to be going wrong, maybe the weather was too wet earlier in the year.<br />

First stop Bassenthwaite Lake , the photos I've taken are looking SE or E.<br />
Its the only body of water in the Lake District to have lake in its name, all the others are water as in Derwentwater, or mere as in Windermere, or tarn as in Styhead Tarn, and so on. In the above photo the Helvellyn range of mountains are in the far distance.<br />

looking East and the lower slopes of Dodd and the higher Skiddaw come into view, looking in this direction I was lucky enough with the aide of binoculars to find one of the Hen Harriers quartering the sedge and grass of the far side of the lake.<br />
Bassenthwaite lake out of interest, is approx 4 miles long and 3/4 of a mile wide and about 70 feet deep at its deepest, so a relatively shallow lake. at the Northern end of the lake there is a boat club, so a good portion of the lake is used for yachting, but a large portion of the Southern end is a nature reserve, including a large area of marsh and a small area of reed bed.<br />

Continuous scanning of the lake didn't throw up much else, a few Mallard close in and a pair of Swans , which can just about be seen in the first photo, we did find at a great distance a large raft of juvenile Goosanders chasing shoals of fry, quite comical to watch as they would all dive on mass. The only other thing of note was a Great-crested grebe also at a distance. As regards the Ospreys, no sign , the female will have left now on her journey down to Africa, the three young are still here and the adult male. also amazing two strangers dropped in during the past week and fed the young Ospreys, one of them originated from a nest over at Kelder, and now has a mate but no nest as yet.<br />

This plant is not a native to the UK and is very invasive, doing a lot of damage to rivers and streams , choking them with its summer growth and as a consequence also killing various forms of wild life. It has also spread through Europe , Canada, New Zealand, and the USA.<br />

As we scanned the reserve we saw a pair of Swallows hunting insects, and this was the reason why.<br />

There had been reports of a new species record for the reserve in the way of a Reed warbler, apparently good views were had for the couple of days it stayed.<br />
Also before I go on , Great and exciting news has emerged, for the first time in over a hundred years a pair of Marsh Harriers have nested in Cumbria and have successfully fledged two young at Bassenthwaite Lake.<br />
So with the sun shining expectations were reasonably high if not for birds then maybe butterflies, not so.<br />

The first thing anyone sees when walking out of the train station on arrival in Penrith is the castle, (or I should say what remains of it) unless that is they cast their eyes to the left, in which case they can feast their eyes on MacDonald's, yea.<br />

Apparently a guy by the name of Ralph Nevill built it in the 14th century in an effort to defend the area against the Scots. Now what I find hard to get my head round is this, at this period we where apparently still having battles with the Scots, yet a century earlier Merton Collage Oxford (where my Daughter got her degree then Masters) had already been built, so what where they teaching then, sword play and castle building.<br />
after the Nevills the castle became the property of Richard Duke of Gloucester, later Richard 111 of England.<br />

We work from what had once been a small farm yard and any of the animals that could roam free where allowed to do so , including from time to time the polecat who's name by the way was Babe. Keith lived on site so their freedom was continuous, if Babe wasn't in her cage in one of the outbuilding she had the freedom of the house. very often when I was in work I would have my two with me Kyfer and Misty, all getting on very well.<br />

I forgot to mention there was also hens and ducks knocking about.<br />
At this stage its all about Babe, because I went into work one morning to find Keith upset, why the long face I asked , Babe has gone missing, she has somehow got out of her cage and just gone. Now generally speaking when this happens you have lost your polecat.<br />
Three days later when I went in, Keith was back to his happy self, its good to see he's got over it I thought. However the reason for his joy Babe is back, she had woke him up at three in the morning scratching at the door wanting to be let in. Not only was she back but as it later transpired she was pregnant !!!. Somewhere out there in the surrounding fields and woodland she had found a male friend, and a good looking one judging by all the kits she produced with really good markings.<br />
Amazingly this wasn't a one off , as she disappeared for a second time with the same results. Keith use to handle all the kits from an early age, consequently there was no biting from them. I was seriously thinking of having one of the kits from the second litter, but didn't go through with it.<br />
For some time after that period I regretted not having one of the kits, so a few weeks back I set too and built a cage, and a fortnight ago when my Daughter was home we went in search of a polecat. We found a litter for sale about 50 mile from us , so drove over to have a look, with the result.<br />

The first couple of days must have been a bit stressful for him, having been snatched away from his siblings and everything that was familiar, and brought into a strange new world. consequently my fingers where blooded a few times, thankfully with gentle training we are past that stage, and he now tends to hold rather than bite.<br />

Also at this point I'm enjoying a very nice and juicy Pear. Now then, you know that feeling when you know someone is watching you, or you think you are being followed, I know spooky , well you wouldn't expect to get that feeling in broad daylight and by the lake shore would you, I did, I just got that feeling, and the next thing a shadow passed over me, and I followed it as it floated silently across the shore in front of me, then suddenly disappearing to blend in with the shadows cast by the trees. At this point I had more or less finished my Pear, and in anticipation of something interesting going to happen, I threw the remains of the pear ahead of me, and in a split second the shadow reemerged onto the shore, and increased in size until shadow and shadow maker became one, and began to devour the remains of my pear.<br />

The Isthmus by the way is like a small peninsular of land jutting out into Derwentwater, and is covered with a variety of mainly deciduous trees. It is completely open to the public and it is criss crossed with footpaths, some bordering the lake. It is home to the Keswick Launch company work shops, where all repairs are undertaken, and new rowing boats are built there, the whole area is owned by the National trust, as is a lot of land in the valley of Borrowdale.<br />

Mountains rise on nearly all sides, the lower slops of which are covered in mainly Oak woods with a mix of Silver Birch (Betula pendula), Hawthorn (Cartaegus), Alder (Alnus). Mountain Ash (Sorbus aucuparia),Hazel (Corylus avellana ), and a sprinkling of others. Some areas have been planted artificially with Spruce and Larch, and in such plantings particularly Spruce there is very little wildlife due to the fact that there is hardly any light penetration, so no undergrowth.<br />
The lake its self is approximately 3 miles in length by about one and a half mile wide at its widest, and roughly just over 70 feet deep. In 1975 I swam it at its widest part, and was gearing up to attempt the length of it , when the weather changed bringing heavy rain and with it a rapid drop in water temperature.<br />
I've always considered it to be my favourite out of all the lakes, and it is certainly the most picturesque of the lakes. From 1974 to 1982 I was lucky enough to live right by the shore of the lake at a place called Derwent Bay, which is on the private estate of Lingholm,(owned at the time by Lord Rochdale) near the village of Portinscale, on the west side of the lake, they are memorable years.<br />

It was an idyllic place to live, surrounded by wildlife. there are woodlands on three sides of the house, and open views to and across the lake. From my kitchen window I could watch ducks and geese on the lake, and also shore birds, waders and wagtails. Then there was all the woodland birds, and Roe deer , Foxes, Badgers, again Fox and Roe deer regularly seen from the house, not to mention Red squirrels, as many as six different individuals coming to the feeder at my kitchen window, and a Heronry at the back of the house.<br />

My mate Les was born at Derwent Bay in the house I ended up living in, his Farther built a new house across the yard. We soon became friends and over the years good mates, and we very often reminisce about those years at the Bay, good years, happy times mostly.<br />
