I enjoyed my 'usual' circular birding walk today.
Taylor Lane's black ice needed some care for this old codger!
Bright and sunny and even the bitter breeze on Soil Hill summit didn't spoil things.
It was good to have a coffee, Twix, Sit Down and chat with the Ogden Water lady volunteers before doing the circuit.
I also enjoyed a chat with The "Crow Man" who was here today.
I also had an enjoyable chat with Geoff the farmer along Ogden Lane.
The only chat that I didn't have was a stone chat.
Gritting Bradshaw Lane this afternoon - must be something cold on the way.
