| Walk: | Lower Lane, Chapel Brow, Pinfold Lane, Alston Wetlands, Preston Road, Chapel Hill, Lower Lane | ||
| Start Point: | Home | ||
| Distance: | 4 miles | Ascent: | 123 feet |
| Time: | 1.25 hours | ||
| Weather: | Overcast | ||
| Comments: | A morning walk with Luna, including a visit to the Wetlands on Pinfold Lane. The Wetlands area was developed on the site of an earlier reservoir. The attempt at catching the bird activity is a little indistinct due to zooming in quite a distance. | ||
The first daffodils I've seen this year
Luna thinks the stile is too high . . .
and squeezes through the gap instead
Shame I haven't got the binoculars!
The swan seems to have it's eye on something . . .
could it be the two swans approaching . . .
with their heads tucked between their wings?
As they get nearer to the single swan . . .
it decides to take off . . .
running across the water and into the air
The other two seem happy now they've seen it off!!
