It was a dark wet morning when Ruth (Sue's sister) arrived bearing gifts.
A BIG one "Cwt" bag of Cooking Apples.
Sue smiles benignly and said "oh Thanks" but I could see that in her mind she was thinking "As if!".
After a long chinwag Ruth left with a birthday present from Sue then Sue and I went to Aldi, Clayton which was packed to the gills.
The rain continued all afternoon but it was really mild, while Sue studied the bag of "cookies"!
I eventually manged to get in a dry evening walk up the local fields with the nights closing in now it's dark at quarter to seven,
Birds:-
c100 Meadow Pipit was a mega count for me.
(Probably migrating birds grounded temporarily by the dark wet weather).
4 Stonechat way, way off - moving on and off some barbed wire fencing.
Kestrel.
Usual Gulls in the fields and a few large Gull > w occasionally.
A Fox was in the field.
