Grey Heron & Great crested Grebe240 viewsAlthough still a juvenile, the much larger Heron moves in for the kill, hoping to get at the eggs or young that the Grebe is protecting, but it didn't bank on just how tenacious the Grebe would defend it's nest.

Glossy Ibis240 viewsThis rare vagrant arrived in the Pilling area in the late autumn of 2006 & hung around there for a couple of months, providing excellent sightings for the many birders who travelled from far & wide to get a glimpse of it. Nearly two years on & it's still in the North West, being frequently seen both sides of the Ribble Estuary.
