Morning round Daisy Nook Country Park.30.12.2017.

Today even though it was a bit damp and dark Pepe and I set off to Daisy Nook Country Park.

When we got to the Cafe  there, the young Ladies were a welcoming sight and not just because they had saved us a 50p and a £2 coin for my collection!.

A  50p Peter Rabbit and a £2 Florence Nightingale, Nice one ladies.

After breakfast, we set off round the park to see if there was anything to see and there at the fisherman's pool was this nice heron!.

Then further along the canal towpath there were these little chaps, and they went mad for some seed which I always have in my pocket.

Plenty of Robins about,

This Blue Tit didn't turn out as good as the others, a bit more timid .

Great Tits 

Even a  few Coal Tit's

The Nuthatches don't seem to be as colourful here as at Reddish Vale Country Park?.

Back at the Cafe for a hot drink to warm up, spotted this little chap on the bird feeder behind the cafe,

So all in all a good walk round.

 The fishing pond was part frozen, though still overflowing quite strongly down the run off to the river, which was a raging torrent today, not surprising really is it, the amount of snow and rain we have have recently. 

This moorhen was lurking in the undergrowth at the side of the first pool from the cafe, perhaps hoping at get the first of the leftovers, though there aren't many from the Cafe as the food is too nice not to be all eaten up. Gave it some of my seed, the Cafe could make a few bob selling bird food I think, perhaps they think they have enough to do with the food!. 

Then back to the car, Pepe looking good on top but you should have seem the underneath of him, had to go into the sink when we got home, still he's due for his wash and trim next year!, wow that sounds bad doesn't it, but it's only next week folks!

So that's it for today folk's, next post I will be the writing of  our celebrations over the Christmas, New Year and Birthday next week!.

Lets face it, if you stretch your elbows out first thing in the morning and don't feel wood!, you'r good to go!.

One nice thing about egotists, they never talk about other people!.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
