Bottoms Reservoir Langley

Your eyes do not deceive you it really is called Bottoms Reservoir, found these two happily feeding on any scraps thrown to them, one gentleman was feeding them dog biscuits as that was all he had in his pocket, just got stale bread off me, unfortunately the weather men were wrong again (could not have been a woman, as we are always right LOL) so a good excuse to go back again in the Sunshine and only three mile from my front door.

Goyt Valley

Today was all about Butterflies and Scenery in the Goyt Valley on Staffordshire Moors, changable weather as you can see from the Cloud Scenes, nothing else seemed to be playing ball today. Meadow Brown

Staffordshire Moor Scenery

Scenery shots taken while going up hill and down dale after the Wheatear posted previously, they certainly gave me a good work-out who needs the Gym!!

Staffordshire Moors

On the Staffordshire Moors yesterday for a few hours early evening, went back for Wheatear spotted the day before while hunting for Grouse, was worth a trip back and got in a little sun bathing to boot!

Sheep Dog Trials

Macclesfield And District 65th Annual Sheep Dog Trials, held at Sutton Hall Farm, Sutton, Macclesfield, not what I would usually put on my Blog but a great day was had by all and very local to me, so was worth supporting.

Quick Trip After Work

A good friend of mine pointed out I have been slacking of late, so dashed out quickly after work to rectify situation, not sure were the Air Ambulance was off to but returned a short time later. Will have a little more time over the week-end as no work till Monday now.
