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.

Monday 28 August 2017

This Sunday at Reddish Vale Park. 27.8.2017.

Nice sunny day at Reddish Vale today.
The collage in the information centre is now finished and a beautiful job has been made of it with a wonderful collection of photos and the framing of it all has turned out a very nice job, congratulations to all who have had a hand in it!!.  

Then it was off round the lakes to see what was worth snapping.
The decking bridge over the run off to the river was of interest as I've been doing a bit of decking this week!.
 

A cute baby sparrow.

And these not so cute Terror- pins!, two of three on the lake near the bridge just mentioned.

One of the second brood of Great Crested Grebes, off fending for itself.

As you can see its getting its Dad's classic shape but not changing colour yet.



The cygnets are doing well with their attentive mother keeping an eye on them, even though they are quite big now they won't be aware of the dangers of cruel homo sapiens ways.

Still at the ugly duckling stage.


Then a surprise!, this Little Grebe swimming around on its own, seen them last year but they seemed very shy and right over the other side of the lake, out of range of even my zoom.
This one perhaps looking for a mate and more interested with that than being shy!.

Think this is only a juvenile one as the adults have a red head. 

Nice day, then another surprise friends Mary and Peter turned up, so it was off to the centre again for another cuppa.
Then off to Son John's for Sunday dinner, only 11 sat down this week!!.

Why did the blonde throw bread crumbs into the toilet?,
To feed the toilet duck.

Why do seagulls fly over the sea?,
Because if they flew over the bay they would be bagels!.

Its the way I tell em!.
