A necessary trip to Cumbria meant I could grab a couple of hours at the Golden Eagle watchpoint. Unfortunately heavy traffic at several stages of the journey meant I arrived later then anticipated and therefore I missed seeing the Golden Eagle that had been showing fairly well for large parts of the afternoon. However, a male Merlin, a male Peregrine, 2 Ravens, 6 Goosanders and 4 Wheatears in the area, as well as some stunning scenery, meant it was pleasant enough.
