        Unfortunately the Lapwing are unlikely to breed. The fields are usually tilled and sown when they are nesting. Sometimes they try again after the work has been done, but generally nothing results.

          Indeed so.
          The biggest danger would be foxes but after four winters its managed to dodge them thus far.
          Its still looking fit and healthy. It’s able to waddle along and escape into the water if there’s anything around to bother it.

              Might be the same bird which landed on our ship in Cadiz this week and stayed on board for three days until we got to Southampton 🙂

                Hi Phil,
                Is it possible to contact you on a private message on the LDBWS website?
                Thanks

                  Outside of the area.
                  A pair of Oystercatcher regularly nest in an unknown location somewhere in the industrial area beyond the long-on boundary at Kendal Cricket Club. They’re often successful and sometimes a noisy adult and their offspring appear during a match, which is sometimes more entertaining to watch than the game itself. There’s been a pair here again this year.

                    A pair have produced two young near the disused Milnthorpe railway station.

                      Don’t know how to do private messages but if anyone wants to contact me about breeding birds for your atlas in sensitive areas I can provide grid references.

                        Agree with you about Sedge Warbler numbers. I’ve been finding more than usual, some in locations where I’ve not recorded them before. Willow Warbler numbers have been impressive this year too.

                          We’ve had Tree Sparrows visiting our feeders in Milnthorpe regularly over the past few years, with breeding success last year. Two pairs have been here this year. Keeping an eye on them and will see what transpires this year.

                            Thanks for that. I’ll keep an ear out next time I’m there.

                                Hi
                                Is this reference sufficient or do you need the 6 figure number? SD 4783

                                  Thanks Stephen.
                                  It will be interesting to see if this planned trail ever happens.

                                    Think its a goose being monitored from Windermere. There’s a few of them about.
