Wonders of bird migration observed Those of xis who enjoy


bird watching and its ancil­ lary pleasures find, in our near coast line a complete answer to our desires. The link between our valleys and this coast-line is more than that provided by the Ribble, its estuary, and the adjacent


shore. This link is perfectly ob­


vious to everyone. There is how­ ever, another link which Is so often overlooked. This is the association of our bird life.

time of year that the estuary from Lytham to St. Annes is the most important rendezvous in the north west?


Indeed, when you consider


the question, there is also a re­ markable comparison to be drawn between humans and bird life. Generally speaking it all takes place in reverse as we see tlie people in and around Ribblesdale going to the coast


in the summer to return in winter. The birds find it better to reverse the plan and they spend


For do we not find at this


the summer in our valley to leave for the winter and sojourn by the coast.


Here, I suppose, is where the


similarity ends, but. as I say, the link is very close indeed and provides the naturalist not only with an excuse for a trip to the shore with an opportun­ ity to study one of the vital aspects of natural history.


Refreshing That is why I find so much


pleasure and satisfaction in going along this coast from Ribble estuary to Blackpool’s south shore. It is stimulating to mind and body, a tonic and a diversion from all that is nowadays presented as enter­ tainment in this world of strange and, dare I say, false values.


How refreshing, on occasions,


to go along just to see how our late summer visitors are get­ ting on by the sea. I f you are interested in such


choose a good day. Make sure vou arrive an hour or so before high tide, otherwise much of


your trip will have been wasted and your observations will be restricted to the sight of the sea and sand.


I f the tide is in, then the


waders have departed. I f you choose a time when


the t id e is turning and approaching the shore, then the bird life will be driven in shore as the area of sand de­ creases and in so doing, gives one a better chance to observe and identify many old friends


and the stranger. As for myself I was reminded


of the close connection a few weeks ago when just following dusk a small party of curlew passed over Clitheroe heading


west. It was impossible to see them


as the regular and familiar calls subdued but easily recog­ nisable, came from the dark­


ening sks'. These birds were on migra­


tion Not to any distant lands, but to the Fylde coast. You will hear these night calls in the autumn and in the spring time and are a prelude to the chang­ ing seasons.


Next time you will hear the


night oalls will be in April as they return to settle on our riverside pastures and on the fells. The yearly cycle will then be completed.


So, following these nightly


occurences I went, a day or so later to see what was taking place on the coast. And sure enough, the winter flocks were building up to form those inter­ esting sights which delight the


bird watchers. Several groups of curlew were


b u s y by the tide - edge. Oyster catchers called noisily by the edge of the mud flats and several parties of redshanks for ever restless, crossed and re- crossed the mud flats eager, it seemed, to be first at some new feeding place.


Ring-plover were very com­


mon and with the characteristic twinkling step were easily iden­ tified. Others also demanded atten­


tion. The small yet ever so attractive dunlin probed in the wet ground for worms and small Crustacea, and the knots —there are hordes of them— provided an ariel display of


superb ability. Compare these gyrations with


man’s efforts and the gap will amaze you. What master mind


governs these creatures as they twist, turn and dive almost wing'to wing, yet never collid­ ing, no one seems to know, but of one thing we may be sure— they provide one of the high­ lights of a visit to the Ribble estuary.


Indeed, these manoeuvres


provide one of the most thril­ ling sights in nature. At times hundreds and per­


haps thousands, take wing just above the tide-edge and in a


few seconds as they rise the compact group twists and dives in fantastic fashion.


First they appear as a dark


cloud, then as they turn the under-parts flash in the sun­ light like snow-flakes until once again they rise in a mass to recall, at a distance, some rapid changing cloud, first elon­ gated then c om p a c t and


rounded. But for the moment we are


not so concerned with this re­ markable ability as with the equally wonderful power of migration. The birds we see on


the seashore have come from our own Ribble and Hodder


watersheds. They have not to travel any


great distance as do many others— but how they do it still remains very obscure and so far no good rational explana­ tion has been expounded.


Feats Look at it this way— Drop the


average man fifty or a hundred miles from home and without making any enquiry, how many would succeed in returning home in a reasonable time? Few I suppose.


Yet we find these simple


creatures achieving far greater feats of navigation in spring and autumn. Take a penguin thousands of miles away from its home across tile barren wastes of the Arctic and with­ out undue stress it will some­ how manage to return.


The wandering a lb a t r o s s


wanders about the world during the greater part of the year but


somehow or other it always manages to find its own par­ ticular breeding site each sea­


son. And much nearer home our


lapwing reared in Ribblesdale somehow journeys to Ireland and the Continent in order to escape the rigours of our climate in winter.


Kestrels also, hatched in


some out-barn by Ribble or Hodder have been known to reach southern France and Spain to return once again in spring to our countryside in order to carry out their domes­ tic duties.


n e a r Clitheroe, leaves in autumn to winter in far away Africa, and then several months later returns to that same bam.


The swallow reared in a barn Childrpen1 How—we do not really know.


Some may suggest they follow the adults but what of the cuckoo? The young go to Africa weeks after the adults have left our shores to return- unaided in spring to the very spot where they were reared by their fosterers.
