Gorton Lower reservoir. 23.11.2025.

 This week I had a trip over to the Gorton Lower reservoir to see if there were any foreign arrivals, bird wise that is.

These magpies were waiting on the car park for some monkey nuts, I'm sure they recognize my hat!.  

There were plenty of boat people, but not on rubber boats!.

The local kids enjoying the water even if it was freezing.

It was cold but nice and sunny

Met this couple who were trying their new mobile phones cameras  out, as you know the cameras on mobiles these days are brilliant, but! there isn't a great deal of zoom is there.

I soon got the swans a bit nearer for them with some food.

This is a young Great Crested grebe born this year.

The Bridge view café have started their Christmas parties this week and here is a menu for you.

This was a party for the local history society

A couple of Narra boats that visited the basin this week.

Look nice in the summer gliding along, but not very nice this weather. 

Back home, I only seem to be getting Sparrows at the moment, have seen a blue tit but not long enough to get a picture.

My Christmas Cactus are all doing well, Not sure if they will last until Christmas though. 

Finished this jigsaw this week,
