RSPB Old Moor

Today I spent the day at RSPB Old Moor with Callum who is with me on his 2 week work experience. We started the day discussing weather, where to find accurate weather reports, synoptic charts, wind chill, shipping forecast, and cloud types.

We then spent the rest of the day looking around the nature reserve as any Mountain Leader needs to be able to identify wildlife. The weather was kind to us and we spotted about 40 species including Bittern, Common Sandpiper, Redshank and Black Tailed Godwit. Think the young one enjoyed it and he managed to get some decent shots on his camera.
