Leyland Walks

 A series of walks from my daughters house in Leyland towards Bretherton produced a few nice birds.

Oystercatchers - We were surprised to see these three chicks on the top of a very exposed flat roof.  The parents were chasing off Crows and other potential predators.

Oystercatcher - with one of the fledglings.

Oystercatcher - A couple of days after the photos above and the chicks had left the roof and were hidden in the long grass somewhere.  The parents still seeing off any dangers.

Lapwing - One feeding close to the track. Presumably breeding in the field somewhere.


Yellowhammer - Several were singing along the track.

Tawny Owl - One of the two youngsters just before dusk.




Barn Owl - One quartering the farmland. Another heard calling.


Little Owl - Very distant in an area where I saw one a few days ago.
