BIKING BIRDER I June 29th 2010 Bassenthwaite RSPB Osprey Lookout and Campfield RSPB Reserve

 

June 29th 2010 

A night spent camping in a what I thought was empty field was followed by a breakfast of crunchy nut cornflakes, as I sat in my sleeping bag with the tent flap open.

Having the brutish head of a large shaved sheep suddenly appearing in front of me almost made me choke on my cornflakes!


And so with tent packed away, I left the sheep to their field and made my way to the RSPB Osprey watchpoint.









Sad to find on leaving, a dead Goldfinch beside the road.




Beautiful none the less, I carried on cycling north until I reached the magnificent and expansive Campfield RSPB Reserve.
