Studley Green Red Kites : 20th June 2015
Studley Green Red Kites : 20th June 2015 We started our holiday in the south of England with a visit to friend’s wedding anniversary party in Maidenhead.

Corncrake at Carr Lane, Hale : 7th June 2015
Corncrake at Carr Lane, Hale : 7th June 2015 I had been watching reports on Rare Bird Alert of a Corncrake singing in a field off Carr Lane near Hale, Merseyside.
