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.

Gorton Lower Reservoir, East Manchester, 5.8.2020.

Today after a shopping trip to Home Bargains for Bird food, ( they have started to pack the 50 fat balls for £3.99 in cardboard boxes, so no more having to fill the land fill will plastic tubs)
called back at McDonalds for lunch, long queues to get indoors, all kids with their mothers, not many masks in sight!.
We are lucky in that we can go in the drive-thu where there wasn't much of a queue, they can't afford to let the queue get too long there or they will be backed up to the main road. I've learnt the drive-thu is the best option and won't be going back to queuing inside again.
After eating lunch on the park car park, we set of to the Lower Reservoir to see the Great Crested grebes and we weren't disappointed, as they were in the same area as last time we went, still a bit too far to get really good pictures but we did our best!.

Family Album.

Can we eat these blue things flitting about Mum?.

Your dad's gone for dinner, No not McDonalds we only eat fish!.

Look your Dad's got one for you.

Couldn't be more different that their parents could they.



Hurry up Mum, he's catching up with us.
Those are hay bales in the background for the Blue/Green algae in the water, so don't let your dogs drink this water!. 

Left hand down a bit mum.

I'm not on yet mum!.

Great Black-backed Gull, a bit far from the sea here.

Young Black headed gull.

The Buoys from the sailing club makes a good perch for this Common Gull.

Not sure of this one, Perhaps a young Muscovy Duck Mutant?.

So it was a good day and the weather has warmed up a bit!.
