Grange duck pond with the ornamental collection is a lot nearer to the train line!

Is that not supposed to just be read as 'C' and '9'?

It's awful for David and Susannah, on top of losing everything in a fire and I know how devastating that is personally. I don't think however that there is any need for any outrage whilst the full circumstances have still to be explained by the members of FIBOT.

Surely there are several possible reasons for this, and you are speculating.

Will do in Blackpool, England.

Well Buzzards are the most variable raptor colour wise, but if it was the size of one and wasn't one Red Kite is about the only other thing that fits.

To be honest the behaviour sounds more like a Buzzard but in terms of likelihood they wander and it's quite possible.

Video. Also very few people can get meaningful sketches of a flyby seabird but feel free to use your emojis.

Are you? That bird was also video recorded and seen by several observers along the coast. I had a seabird which was a national first and if I hadn't got an image I wouldn't even have submitted it.

Secondly a birding one. I was going from Lancaster to Dalton for a driving lesson. A couple of birding twins whose names escape me were looking out approaching Silverdale. They saw a Red-footed Falcon on the wires and tried to get off but it wasn't stopping there. They got off at Arnside and...

Firstly a non birding one. There was a train guard who was well know for his comedy announcements. I can't remember most of them but approaching Cark & Cartmel 'change here for Cark International Airport'. When he passed away it made the Evening Mail as he was such a cult figure in South Cumbria.

I would certainly be interested, but if the death toll is too high I guess it might get a bit depressing during a covid lockdown. I used to travel the Furness Line a lot and felt that it was under appreciated as a birding journey. Two estuary crossings, Leighton Moss saltmarsh pools and even...

Been returning for a couple of years.

How do you assess size from those images with no reference points? I would agree with Cory's.

Sorry it's not more positive but I read somewhere that Scotch Argus are doing really badly on Arnside Knott these days.

The starting point for a bird in the UK with ducklings would be Tufted Duck.

Black-headed Louise, counter intuitively the fact that the head is brown not black is a good pointer. Stephen
