Down the Vale on Wednesday was quite cold and a bit misty so the pictures were not too good early on, but got better as the streets were aired!.
There were plenty of Goosanders about.
This is a Male and I always thing they are not as colourful as the females, which isn't the norm with birds is it!.
Females day out?.
Where are we going today Gladys?.
"The butler."
The shy Little Grebes
Preening time.
Are you coming indoors to help with the housework or are you going to stay out weighing up the other females all day!
Talk about Idle Jack!.
A couple of Mandarin Ducks, the beautiful colours on the male but the females are nicely marked in their own way aren't they
How do you get so many colours on one bird?.
They say a camel was designed by a committee but you can't say the same about these beautiful birds can you!.
"Stay away from my bird Mr Mallard"
I think this Crows mother has been seeing a magpie, but I read somewhere that they develop the white on their wings to imitate Magpies so they can go in their territory without being attacked, who knows!.
Then a nice Gammon, Egg and Chips at Morrison's for dinner and a warm up!.
Thursday was cinema day and this week it was Robin Hood but turned out like nothing as before!.
It was a bit like the "Assassins Creed" video game and all played out in the town and it was only in the last scenes did they all go to the Greenwoods.
I read in the papers at McDonalds that Lee Child has finally decided to drop Tom Cruise from the roll of Jack Reacher, which I'm sure will make a lot of his fans happy me included.
I like Tom Cruise in other roles but he's no Jack Reacher is he.
Today (Friday) had a trip to Daisy Nook to see friends there and then over to the Garden Centre for one of their Coffee and Cake deals £2.50!.
Well that's it for another day.
