WFV - Silverdale, The Lots - 25 April 2023
A lovely sunny morning saw 14 of us leave for Silverdale. A brief stop at Kirby Lonsdale produced a good start to our birding day when the eagle eyes of Sue spotted a pair of treecreepers attending a nest. With such a good sighting under our belts we resumed our journey and arrived at our destination at midday. Julia then led us to The Lots where she welcomed our two new BEES, Angela and Lesley, before asking us to take care where we walked as the green-winged orchids were just emerging. Lunch having been taken, again in the beautiful sunshine, we set off in search and were very quickly rewarded with the sight of numerous newly emerging green-winged, as well as early purples. Much time was spent by some on hands and knees inspecting the finer points of these enchanting orchids whilst others searched the bushes for birdlife.
