Hi fellow members,
The moozy clan are off next week for four days to flookbugh, cumbria. It would be great if anyone has any local knowledge for good locations for bird watching or places of interest, nothing too far as I need to recharge batteries after a hard month at work. Also take into cosideration I have young family.
Thankyou
Moozy & family

There are lots of nice places up there Moozy, but I'd say the font of all knowledge on the South Lakes would be Woodman. Give him a pm, I'm sure he'll come up with lots of suggestions.

Cheers Chris, Ive just done a little research in lunch break today have found a few great places, ie Humphrey Head, with chance of spotting Peregrines and some unusual plant combinations including Lancastrian whitebeam spiked speedswell.
I will post a thread when I get back and hopefully some half decent pics

Beware, the spiked speedwell grows on the steep western edge and the limestone can be very slippery. You should see Peregrine. The wood on the eastern side is rarely visited and contains some entertaining mammals.
I have replied via VM with some ideas. I mentioned a book by a retired Flookburgh fisherman. As I typed it, an item came on the local TV news about the lack of cockles in the bay and showed the authors son cockling in the bay out of Flookburgh!
