In mid February my wife and I will be spending a couple of nights in the Lakes, at the southern end of Derwentwater.
We have a couple of friends in Carnforth, so on our way home Sunday, I’m planning to head over to Leighton Moss.
What would be nice would be to find somewhere to spend a couple of hours (or more) on the Saturday.
I’ve looked at the Cumbria Wildlife Trust site (which is excellent), but being so inexperienced (at birding, though quite experienced walking in (around!) the Lakes), it’s difficult to determine what might be a good site at that time of year in terms of bird life. Assuming there are any!
I don’t mind driving away from the Keswick area if something would be particularly good. I expect this will be one of our first few birding/wildlife outings, so it doesn’t have to be spectacular!
Any suggestions very gratefully received!
