Goosander 13 (8 males, 5 females) Yarrow Reservoir. Goldeneye 4 females Angelzark Reservoir. Buzzard 1 Raven 1
Goosanders on Yarrow Reservoir and Anglezark Reservoir.
The walls at Rivington are covered in ferns, such as this Polypody, bryophytes and lichens.
I've never seen such a blue lichen as this. It was just a small patch, and in life was even bluer than it appears in the photo. You would think it would be easy to identify, but the nearest I can get it to is Cobalt Crust
Terana caerulea, but according the the
NBN Gateway, that species doesn't occur in the area, although it is as close as Merseyside.
