More from Robert’s Park
I went into Robert’s Park again at lunch-time because I still want a good shot of a Goldcrest. I saw and heard several but not one of them co-operated. But what I did find was Redwing. In the past I have only seen these when snow was on the ground but that is possibly because…

He’s Behind You
I really enjoy seeing Herons on the river at lunch-time or on the way tp/from work. With this one I so wanted to be able to say “He’s behind you” but perhaps it is not “The one that got away” but “The two that got away”. Neither the Heron nor the Trout is in the…

Misty morning
We had a rather misty morning on 4 October. At home the sky had been beautifully clear and blue but down in Saltaire the sun struggled to get through until later. Even the cobwebs on the gates were affected by the misty moisty morning.
