Visit to the Debdale reservoirs, 5.1.22.

On our visit  to the Debdale reservoirs  today after lunch at the drive-thru McDonalds it was nice and sunny but still a cold nip in the air!, but we were wrapped up well and Pepe has his own build in long coat!.

That's the Pennines in the distance, the backbone of England.

This young Gull was fighting off all comers, to keep its feet out of the cold water.

Like snow, looks nice on a postcard!.

 That's the juvenile swan in the foreground.

Just been reading in the RSPB magazine that Pigeons are very intelligent and can recognise people in a crowd who feed them, I think Canada Geese are the same as these follow me round.

That's the Holiday Inn in the background, Bab's.  

This goose will even eat out of my hand, but couldn't manage a picture of that what with Pepe and the camera too.

Little Gull.

Mr & Mrs Mallard.

Great Crested Grebe.

Whilst in the park Car Park watched a chap sat at his van repairing a cycle puncture, "you've done that before said I", "Yes" he said "He keeps riding into Bramble thorns"

That's the culprit in the three wheeler, he has a motorised wheel chair as well. 

He certainly liked Pepe and had a good fuss and stroke.

Perhaps off  on the Fallowfield Link which starts here.

Back in the Car park met another lady from Reddish Vale Country Park with her Grandson, she was having a change of scenery too. 

 So another nice sunny day if you were wrapped up well.

The good news is that the days are starting to get longer now.

Did you hear of the guy who lost his left arm and left leg in a car accident.

He's all right now!.

Or 

The guy who fell into the lens grinding machine?,

he made a spectacle of himself. 

The good news about being middle-aged is that the glass is still half full,

the bad news is that soon your teeth will be floating in it.
