Early morning walk in the Tame Valley and a new feel of spring in the air

March 3, 2021
1 Comment

Early morning walk in the Tame Valley Despite a reasonably heavy layer of frost and a pretty cold start to the day, there was a real feel of Spring in the air by the time I was home in the Tame Valley earlier this week. Of course it’s not officially spring until Saturday 20th March […]

The jackdaw – a lovely small black crow.

March 2, 2021

Post updated 01 March The Jackdaw You shouldn’t be at all surprised if you see the jackdaw – a lovely small black crow.  With around 1.4 million pairs in the UK they could hardly be described as a rare bird, they really are quite common and you can pretty much expect to see them across […]

Another visit to Dunham Massey – National Trust

February 18, 2021
No Comments

Dunham Massey For the first time in ages we travelled a little bit futher than normal, and instead of our regular ‘lockdown’ walking route we took the car and visited the National Trust property at Dunham Massey.

Picture Post 2 – The kingfisher

1 Comment

The kingfisher I have heard of an old folk tradition in Britain that says if a dead kingfisher is hung by a thread from a post it will always have its beak pointing in the direction of the prevailing wind. Now I have to be honest and say that thankfully, not only have I not […]

February 13, 2021

Reddish Vale Country Park The last time I wrote about a trip to Reddish Vale was about six months ago – back in the summer of 2020. The contrast in the weather between the two visits couldn’t really have been greater. In August it was hot… on this visit it was below freezing.  The bitterly […]

A week along the river – walking in the Tame Valley

February 8, 2021
No Comments

A week along the river Another week of decent walking despite some dodgy and cold weather. I tend to take the view there is never really the wrong weather but there is sometimes the wrong gear.

January 24, 2021
