Deep water creek At Riverside

No guessing where I went today, it was a nice warm afternoon with a blustery wind. It was not too bad and there was hardly anyone around just a few friendly dog walkers.

The one thing about this afternoon it that it was 1300 and a lot of the bird were a sleep with their head in the wing. On walking the path the first I came across were a whole flock of Mallards fast asleep.

All asleep

These did not move all the time I was their.

Farther out and still asleep

No today I got a first a Red Shank on the wing. These are normally too fast for me

Having lunch
I spent an hour there and it was well worth it. 
As low water it about 1430 tomorrow I may try a trip out to Horrid Hill

Thanks for looking.

  3. Well thank you both, I will try to do that Chris but most wild flowers have died off but there are loads of berries of different colours that I have seen. I will see what I can do this afternoon.

  4. Well done again Trev.

    I will have to take the Nikon out next time and blow the cobwebs off it.

    I agree with Eileen forget about all the doom and gloom in the world, we cant do any thing about it anyway.
