sunday 15th febuary 2008, day 1 south cumbria/north lancashire holiday

day one of our holiday. first things first-we went to grange-over-sands our local town to have a look around. lucky for me they had an ornamental park with a wildfowl colection so began to take some photos

wigeons at war

ruddy shelduck in a flap

hawaian goose or nene, worth seeing before they become extinct

shelduck having a wash

their still at it

when we came back to the site we discovered the people caravaning across from us had put up a bird table. so i sat and waited to see what would come

coal tit

great tit chaseing off a blue tit

treecreeper up a tree

marsh tit-one of the best birds this holiday

a nuthatch

this was to be a promising holiday, my dad had said we would go to leighton moss RSPB so my head was full of bittern after they evaded me last time.
