Welcome to my new Blog



Welcome to my Blog.
My Blog is mostly about my hobbies, ie Model boats, Cross Stitch, Gardening, Days out and about, Lego Technics and Photography you might recognize the hat rather than me. My models and other hobbies can be found in the Tabs at the top below the header picture.
There will also be entries of days out with my camera, weather permitting of course.

A hour in Debdale today. 7.10.2020.

 Today at the reservoirs and Debdale park it was sunny one minute and dull the next, but we had a nice walk and saw a few people and a bit of wildlife so not a bad day!.

Looking across the old football fields, those stakes for new trees are a new project at the end of the park backing onto Friendship avenue, more about that in an other post, but its all about the history of Gorton during the Great war to end all wars!!.


Quite breezy as this Magpie is finding out.


On the Resser's these young coots are looking for seeds that have fell down the cracks.
"No coins down here Bob"!.


Reminds one of Christmas Plum Duff ?.

As you can see by the clouds on this picture, showers aren't far away.
Always seems to brighten up when you'r on your way home doesn't it!.

Pair of nice dogs playing ball, Pepe doesn't see the point, there again he is a lap dog not a runner.

The changing colours of Autumn.

"I was only cocking my leg up for a quick wee, honestly Dad"

Got my coat on here as Dad said it was cool today.


Got my eye on this dog coming up not on its lead, don't trust them without a lead on.

Some nice Great Crested Grebes on the reservoir today, one with a baby on the far side fishing but too far away even with my super zoom. 

Think this is a young Coot.


"Duckie's brought some seed again!".
Think they recognize me and Pepe now.
The cyclists in the background don't seem to be bothered with masks though they are most probably from different households.



Love em or hate em they still need to eat don't they.

Still can't make out this duck/goose, body of a Muscovy duck but without the red face, unless they are like Goldfinches and don't get the red faces until the first moult.

Some nice swans that seem to be getting on together alright.  



A juvenile that's soon to become a very fine Swan in.deed!.
How can you say they are ugly ducklings!.

How do you get down off an elephant?
You don't you get down off a duck!.

How do you make an elephant fly?.
With a large zip.
