Sunday I set off in hope, but not expecting, to see the bearded vulture from .
What I did see were buzzards, heron, wood pigeons, canada geese and mallards, plus a sole cormorant that flew upstream over Ladybower.
A sole cormorant.....
A kestrel up by the Salt Cellar on Derwent Edge
And, the ubiquitous wood pigeons....
Thanks both.
I always accepted the odds would be stacked against seeing the BV, and as the old saying goes, "never work with animals or children", was more than happy to make the best of a day out.
I was planning on making a weekday trip, and while I appreciate the odds are stacked against seeing the bird, I'd rather go with a shouting chance than none.
BTW, I'm having problems reactivating my Bird Guide acc, and similar probs setting a new one up, so I'm very reliant on what I read and hear....
