Hit-and-run WUM
All,
I've been asked to take a couple of friends to the UK so they can see Ring Ouzels (don't ask!). The ferry sailings (we're coming from the Isle of Man) give me two possible options which both involve going to Haweswater for Ring Ouzel and Golden Eagle.
Basically we can be at Haweswater for first light (actually, well before) and hopefully get the Ring Ouzels fairly pronto (I don't hold-out much hope of getting the eagle in short order). So we can be at LMoss by 09:00 and back at Heysham for the 1st of the return ferries by 13:15.
The other option is to spend longer at Haweswater, then do Leighton Moss at our leisure and go for the early morning ferry (02:15) the following day.
My preference is the first option, which means I won't be as knackered and have to sit at Heysham for several hours waiting for the 02:15 sailing.
To summarise, just how easy will we get Ring Ouzels at Haweswater?
Thanks in advance,
