Kentmere, spring 2010 'Are there other flying rowan?' he asked. After that flogron beside Gurnall Dubbs. I know of one in Kentmere so trawled my archive of images. These I took in spring 2010 and I was focused on landscape, not on flying rowan which feature almost by chance. There's a barn enclosed by a wall where the sheep from Brockstones are fed and beside it a green sward, a nursery of ewes and their lambs. There are several trees, including a rowan encased in rock, a flogron, a flying rowan.
From here, the ewes and their lambs will head for the fells and common grazing. On this particular day in May the light was dramatic and the flying rowan possessed of magic.
The flogron, the flying rowan seemingly rooted in rock, is an iconic motif in the Lake District Fells. But the Gurnall Dubbs flogron is the only one I know with the distinction of a bird's nest in its branches. So far.
