Past week of 14-20.3.22.

 Well at last the rain has stopped and the past week its been quite sunny, the cold wind has also dropped to a bit.

This is Vicky at Debdale Park with the red hair giving the volunteers their tasks for the day.

One of the volunteers with his dog patiently waiting for him.

Here is Pepe waiting patiently too, dogs  are very good aren't they, they don't seem to mind as long as they are with you and in sight!.

Captured these Coots mating, then he left, to leave her to make their nest, though he did start to bring her the building materials.

Wasn't too sure what this was but was assured it was a Dunnock, it looked too light coloured to be a Dunnock, perhaps one of last years brood, or I've only seen them from above before. 

Cute little Long Tailed Tits.

Blue Tit and Great Tit Sharing the feeder.

A Coal Tit, with the stripe up the back of its neck.

Think this robin is fancying the Squirrel Café for a nest site.

This week at the pear Mill Café!.

Nice table decoration as usual.

Imagine these claws of this Peregrine Falcon hitting you at 200 miles an hour, yes they are the fastest thing in the world!.

We are lucky to have these beautiful birds in our area. 

 Meanwhile back at Debdale park there was a pair of Ring Necked Parakeets on the feeders.

The one with the more pronounced ring round its neck is the male!. 

Yesterday it was really warm and the paths round the resser had dried out quite well, so we walked round to the area we had seen the Great Crested Grebes the day before and being under the trees got quite close to one pair, this other pair was too far away.

This pair quite near to us.

The youngsters were out in force on the water, brought back happy memories of my time there windsurfing and canoeing.

I'd mislaid my magnetic book mark, must have left it in a book taken to the charity shop, so on Saturday night, had a fall of soot and thought "Amazon!".

Ordered these doggie ones, 30 assorted, for £7.49 on Saturday after tea and they arrived Sunday afternoon!.

Only small, but how big do you need a book mark?, cute pictures on them.

The delivery guy had a job finding them amongst all the big boxes, I said "It will only be a very small package Mate", and he found them on his dashboard where he'd put them for safe keeping!.

So all in all a good week for us.
