The first stop was the hide where at first I thought it was Coal Tit feeding but looking in the book it was Great Tit.

| Great Tit |
This was possibly the best shot of the day
Moving on to the viewing point
 |
| Swans on the lake |
There are 4 swans and colony of Coots.
 |
| Gull |
While here we came across a very unusual animal roaming the shore line, it kept following us.

| This kept following us |

| Mike ask for these to make a pie |
Is this enough Mike
Onto Cooling Point
This was an after thought as we were going to go home but it was only 4 miles away we decided to go for it.
On arriving we find that the car park closes at 5:00PM so we did not have a lot of time.
 |
| Magpie |
his was the first sight to greet us as we got out of the car.
We all walked down to a vast lake
 |
| Coots |
There seems to be a very big colony of these but we only had time for one lake. This was a pity but it looks like it might be a day trip on its own.

| Coot |
And finely Daisy must have been here
 |
| Ball |
Does this belong to Daisy and Holly
That's it see you soon and have a good BK Monday

A good afternoon Trev, I seem to recognise that animal that was following us about. Good pictures, the great tit and swans on the lake are my favourites. Until the next time, we should have collected the remains of the ball for poor Daisy!!
ReplyDeleteThat's me Chris,Trev and I make a great pair, stalking all those birds that were half a mile away. BTW that sueieque is the wife, bless her.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the Great Tit btw.
ReplyDeleteHello Trev ...we are all back safe and sound and catching up with our 'blogs'! We often go to Northwood Hill and have permission to take the 'doggies' but have to keep them on a lead of course! Lovely shots Trev... just luv the one of the 'unusual animal' roaming around (tic!) Tell Mike that loads of people take their plastic bowls down there to fill with the blackberries.The RSBP people are more than happy, providing you only take enough for some jam or a pie or two! ... This year is a stunner for all fruit and I could see before we went away that the berries there looked super! Good to be back, D&H send their love and say you can keep that ball you found!! xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen, I am glad all four of you are safe and well. You seemed to have had a smashing time and I am sure it was all over too quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt is the first time Mike and Sue have been to Northward Hill but I hope not the last. We only went as far as the viewpoint as it looked like rain (it was). We must explore the rest later.
Thanks Chris.
It's called " Cliffe Pools" Trev, over 235 bird species have been recorded there, where were they then? I found a mound with no Species on it.
ReplyDeleteJoking aside we had a GREAT day, not like the TIT who still has the jury out on it, cone on OTL..
Well done Trev, lets try Elmley Marshes next time.
A good idea Mike.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have a good look round Cliffe Pool (not sure why I called it Point) as it is big and closer.
AH your back then. was going to Boomers with you but I think we got our wires crossed.
ReplyDeleteOk on Cliffe whatever, I would call them lakes not pools hi. Perhaps go on Wed pm depending on the Ashford run and and the weather then go for a Chinese.
I think R14 0n the display of my camera meads the amount of images that can be saved in burst mode.
Sounds like a plan, Wednesday, The Chinese sounds good as I won't have to cook.
ReplyDeletePity about Boomer's as we would have been glad of you company. Brian turned up and so did Charles Father in law Dug.
I came away early to go to riverside but the tide was in, so that was a no go. I did get some good shots of the shore line but you will have to wait until tonight. to see them. Rain tomorrow clear Wednesday.
