Sometimes it’s a fleeting view of a hunting harrier, but we often have close views of displaying birds as well.” The first Hen Harrier
Safari was last Friday, and the remaining events take place on April 17th and 23rd, May 1st and 21st, June 4th, 5th, 11th and 19th, and July 2nd. Each safari will last four
to five hours and cover around five miles, so you will need to be reasonably fit and well-equipped for moorland hiking. Also plan n ed is a
90-minute “Whimbrel Watch”, on April 30th. Large numbers of whim- brels (a small relative of the curlew) take a break in Bowland on their long-

Friday night is for footy!
YOUNGSTERS in the Ribble Valley at a loose end on Friday nights are invited to “kick around” at a free late-
night football league. The Friday Night Foot- ‘
bail League, aimed at lads aged 13 to 17, was piloted in Clitheroe and Longridge last August.. It was a huge success, at tracting up to 60 young sters per session and around 40 spectators. The scheme, which is
co-ordinated by Ribble Valley Borough Coun cil, backed by the Rib ble Valley Community Safety Partnership and sponsored by Ribble Val ley Homes, aims to tackle
juvenile nuisance and anti-social behaviour by getting youngsters off the streets on Friday nights. The league meets in
five-weekly blocks at sev eral venues in the bor ough, including Clitheroe Castle, at various times between 7 and 10-30 p.m. Ribble Valley commu
nity sports facilitator Pe ter Fletcher said: “Young people have told us that they want more activities at night and have taken the lead on putting the league together. “The pilot scheme was

the Friday Night Foot ball League are available by texting LEAGUE to 07971913330. If enough girls are in
