Mike Warren. Yesterday went to Foulshaw and later Latterbarrow and Meathop - that will be part two later. The second Osprey nest is active but there is uncertainty about whether the newcomers will manage to breed this year - the original pair is incubating.

Mike Warren. Called at the Crag and saw a (distant) peregrine on the cliff - no real sign of nesting yet - and then to join family in Silverdale. Walked across the sand to see the high cliff which has formed by the channel. A few drone shots show the size and extent of the cliff. Orchids beginning to show on the Lots.

Mike Warren. Noticed a thing about size of a drawing pin on the (inside) shed roof and thought it might be an early Wasp nest - later I saw a wasp (queen) going through the door crack and placing more material on the tiny nest. Worth watching - effectively harmless when so busy if undisturbed.

Mike and Jean Warren. Walk by the Ribble looking for Sand Martins. The potential bank site for a colony appears to have collapsed, so if they are to nest here they'll have to start again. Orange tip female was around - not very close.
