Rio - there was a family of red deer near one of the hides when we were there too with a gorgeous little fawn. We stayed at a lovely B&B between Silverdale & Arnside close to Middlebarrow quarry where we saw peregrines. Brill. We took the train over to Grange across the viaduct at Arnside before having tea and a pint at The Talbot in Arnside.

Oy - the shrike caused quite a stare with the twitchers that day. It was spotted from the path to Allen hide. We just had our bins with us as we had left the scope in the car but one kindly gent let us have a look through his scope. A wonderful sight it was.
