Comments: A repeat of a route previously used for an afternoon walk.

A duck approaches the weir on the River Calder . . .

and takes a good look . . .

at the flow of water . . .

but decides to move away

In September 2021 a fallen tree provided a good spot for lunch . . .

but it has now been moved . . .

higher up the slope, too high to sit on . . .

and a small branch provides a seat . . .

as it has been nailed . . .

to a nearby tree!!!
