Lumbutts Clough and Blake Dean

Out and about for the first time in ages today while Lin was off in Manchester.

Heard a young Great Spotted Woodpecker in Lumbutts Clough and found it climbing up a tree about 20 yards from the nest hole -

Off to Blake Dean to see what was about, the answer unfortunately was not much  apart from the usual Curlews, Lapwings, Willow Warblers etc.. There was a Garden Warbler singing away though -
  

 A female Blackbird let me get really close before flying off -


...and a Wren was singing its head off. Nice to see one as they were really badly hit by the long, cold winter -
