Mike Warren. Advanced drivng test today (passed!)then to Leighton on the way back and later to look for murmuration of Starlings. Although seen at Leighton main site recently elected to go to the level crossing lay by and it turned out the birds were ove Carnforth saltmarsh area - so quite distant. Lots of disappointed people leaving the ain site on the way home.

Congratulations Mike on passing your Advanced Driving Test!
Mike Warren. Arnside Naturalists visit to Gaitbarrows - geology the thrust of the day - much talking so not many photos. We were greeted by a drumming Woodpecker - first of the year - and experts amongst us found Hawfinches and a flock of Redwings flew over

Mike Warren. After a suggestion that aerial views of the Trust's reserves in various seasonal states might be interesting I went today - what better winter weather to start with!

Mike Warren. Visit to Leighton to see if ice had brought Bitterns etc. out. It hadn't! Otters had been seen but not by me! Mainly frosty.

Mike Warren. Advanced driving test postponed - went to Leighton. Birds thin but always some interest as shown. Also meeting to re-constitute the Pergrine watch group at Warton Crag - hopefully they will nest successfully this year (and the Ravens).

Mike Warren. After an unsuccessful trip to pine Lake looking for the Great Northern Diver, joined friends for lunch and a walk on Whitbarrow and then family in Silverdale. Not the most spectacular sunset but interesting with the crecent Moon and Jupiter.

Mike Warren. Morning at Leighton with daughter and son-in-law. Good but fleeting view of Otter at Causeway hide. It spooked the Coot and later at Lilian's hide Marsh Harriers did the same. Pictures as annotated.
