Lots of Black Headed gulls about but not a single Tern.
Lots of warblers hunkered down. There were Marsh Harriers about, 2 male Garganey and some Black Tailed Godwits and a couple of beardies. Went to the Eric Morecombe hide part of the reserve for 3 Red Breasted Merganser, Avocets, more Black Tailed Godwits and a Bar tail. Although bird of the day was a Kingfisher with fish.
I had intended visiting Levens Hall but on consulting Hudson's found it was shut so went to Holker Hall.
The hall was mostly gutted by fire in the 1870's and was rebuilt by Paley and Hall. It contains some nice furniture and portraits BUT for me it is the gardens that are the real star.
