In the field next door to where we stayed a pair of curlews had two chicks which they had to defend against the gulls and bonxies. Here, if you wander up the river a bit there are curlews and snipes and even oystercatchers, as there is a flock of them that live in the Reeth meanders but I saw two just a mile ofrom here yeaterday<BR/><BR/>anyway, have been reading the news about the weather in the southwest and as it os pretty awful even here today I hope you have battened down the hatches and don't suffer any damage. all the best from Rillyrilly superhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448694078653341955noreply@blogger.com
