Surround by wildlife on a English river - Birds and Squirrels

Well, it is just about the end of the year, with Christmas in a few days, I have decided to stay relatively local this week with just an hour and half's drive up the road to Shap.

I had been recommended this location by a fellow subscriber called Mike, who said there were plenty of birds and squirrels here, so I took him up on the location and here I am, my initial thoughts on arrival were wow, to be suddenly put off by the number of photographers and other people, but by the afternoon I was left to this location on my own, and it turned out to be a fantastic little spot surround by wildlife.

Today I got up close with a nuthatch, a bird I have been trying to get a good photo of for over a year now, and some very cheek red squirrels that were busy storing the food for winter.

All in all Shap Wells is a lovely little spot, a place i will be returning to and venturing further into the woods and valleys, I think this place has a lot of potential, so definitely going back
