Swifts in the community
One of the best aspects of the Lake District and the surrounding area is the wealth of knowledgeable people that live around the place.
Was it a Swift, a Swallow or a Martin that you saw on your paddle or walk ?
We very often also see Oystercatchers, Buzzards, Dippers, Cormorants, Wagtails, a Heron and a Kingfisher. The Scottish Eagles have had a look around but they’re still a rare sighting at the moment. One of my favourites, Swans, are always a pleasure to watch.
Swim the Lakes
Whether you know it as wild swimming. open water swimming or simply swimming, Ullswater & some other lakes are ideal for the activity.
