This week in Stockport, 22.10.17.

There are some beautiful colours about in the country side at the moment aren't there.

These pictures were taken at Etherow Country Park.

Tibetan Cherry, remember when this was only a young sapling that you could circle with your fingers!.

Very colourful bark.

As it was raining at Reddish Vale Country Park this morning, after a quick walk round with Pepe it was back to the car and out with my car window attachment for my camera, this was a real bargain, £14.11 on the internet, how do they do it for that price, really good quality!.

So sat in the car at the side of the information centre, centred on the feeding station behind it, took these pictures.
Robin & Sparrow.

Chaffinches.

Nuthatch.

Then off to the Cafe for lunch, takeaway as it was too wet to sit out with Pepe, and back to the information centre for a cheaper drink.
Then whilst in the Information Centre took these pictures through the window on the feeding station!, not bad though the glass really, saved getting too wet!

Some one else hungry.

Bottoms up!
Another huge Terror Pin, this doesn't do justice to the size of it!.

Another bit of technology this week, I connected my Iphone to my Camera then put the camera on the settee and sat on the other side of the room with the phone and took this picture, I know its not straight but I'd just placed the camera on the seat.
Should be good outdoors where some of the birds are quite shy, I will be able to hide and leave the camera on a tripod, not today though in this weather!.

This weeks bargains, this Pyracantha was £5.50!, part of the Cotoneatser family.

Then this Bird Bath at £29.99, needs to be placed on something to higher it up away from the cats, there are a lot round our area!

Both items were from the Mockridge Garden Centre behind the Nottcuts Garden Centre at the Snipe Retail park.
