OBSERVATIONS:
A short walk from home around Nevison's Flash which is part of the Bickershaw Country Park, an area being reclaimed by nature now that its former life as a colliery has finished.
There was a lot of bird chatter so you had to keep your ears open to distinguish the bird calls and identify them, the Merlin Bird App also helps.
