On a visit to the Roman Fort at Housesteads, we stopped off at Grindon Lough for lunch. We didn’t’ come across any Romans, however we were lucky to experience excellent views of a Raven, which initially arrived at a some distance, eventually landing close to the water. It only stayed for 15 mins and then continued on its journey. There were lots of Rooks and Carrion Crows also in the area.
We also observed 2 Buzzards, and a family of Red legged Partridge which were busy marching across road as we were parking up.
