Took these yesterday up on hardknott pass in the lake district.
Anybody help with ID?
I'm guessing Meadow Pipit, but it really is just a guess.

Nice one
As you say it's a stunning area. The hardknott pass/wrynose pass is a challenging drive but really enjoyable and well worth the effort.
Moons Bridge Marina, Woodplumpton, Preston, Lancashire.
On a sunny but gusty afternoon, I flew around Moons Bridge Marina - a family run marina offering secure country moorings for over 100 boats on the Lancaster Canal. The Jackson family have been at Moons Bridge for over 20 years.
Moons Bridge Marina is a minor waterways place between the Ribble Link - Lancaster Canal Junction and Lodge Hill Junction (Junction with Lancaster Canal - Glasson Dock Branch).
The Lancaster Canal was planned at the end of the 18th century and was intended to run from Westhoughton to Kendal, however the full length was never completed. In 2002 the Millennium Ribble Link at Ingol in Preston was opened which finally, after a 200 year delay, connected the canal to the River Ribble and therefore access to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
Stretching for over 40 lock free miles, the Lancaster Canal winds its way from Tewitfield in the north to Preston in the south.
Music: Drifting by Enya.

Generally I haven’t come across many snakes in Maryland. Definitely haven’t seen any timber rattlesnakes—I think they’re more common in the western part of the state.
Went to university in southern Virginia and was much more likely to see snakes down there
4 bugs (with ID's (correct hopefully) from last night... Heterocordylus tibialis (capsid) - Psectrotanypus varius (non biting midge) - Bedellidae (snout mite) & a Syrphidae (hoverfly) sleeping under a leaf.

I‘m currently staying on the direct opposite side of the bay to you Paul - Canal Foot, Ulverston.
The view across the bay to Lancashire is stunning.
We have decent coastline for sure. Not "Jurassic" but nice just the same.

You could be in the Med, with that view this morning
It's 10 minutes to the estuary for me, but it's a muddy inlet. The sands are much further away that are worth visiting (Formby for instance) but I don't go out in the car so often to the coast (sadly)..

The apple tree was fruitful last night (more in other thread).
Here are the first few - a vapourer moth caterpillar, a golden tortix moth, and 2 spiders.

I said the tree was fruitful last night - these are more of the discoveries...
Ladybird prep, a caddis fly variant (Limnephilus flavicornis) and another sleeping tapered dronefly (Eristalis pertinax) and 2 different green lacewings.

I have just been speaking to Ray Addison on GB News who has asked for usage of some of this video (I posted it back in May) - on a report which should air on GB News television on Saturday June 17th (unless breaking news affects the broadcast).
Sadly, the story will be about summer deaths caused by drowning, but anything which helps raise awareness and reduces this kind of tragedy is worthwhile.
