Goit Stock, Harden
A Harris Hawk, possibly the bird seen last February and on a few occasions since, was seen flying above the woodland.  It then flew quickly towards St. Ives.
Near the waterfall a Dipper was watched collecting moss for nesting material.

Little Egret
We have now begun to write the 2018 Report.  The records received show that there has been a 35% increase in sightings of the Little Egret.  On some occasions two birds were seen in close proximity.  How long before the first breeding pair is reported?
