Weekly view



I shall be taking a picture every Sunday of this view in Swanholme Lakes Nature Reserve, i can see the changes happening as the weeks go by & the seasons come & go.

This week has been excellent for those interested in tracks. I've taken a few pictures of some.

This is a FOX track -:


Here's some RABBIT tracks,


This is either COOT or MOORHEN (i think)



& here's some SQUIRREL tracks-:



Here's DOG tracks,notice how the dogs Tail has brushed the tracks as if to stop their tracks being followed !!


This is a link to a free printable download from the BBC Autumnwatch website, some superb pictures of tracks to help you on your walks, copy & paste it into your browser -:

A good tip for when you take photos is to use a 2p coin so folk can judge size of object, i forgot mine !! Now i have put one inside my camera case so i'll always have it on me in future.


I know everyone says we don't get this kind of weather much & we should enjoy it while it's here. Granted it does look nice for perhaps the first week & allows for some nice pictures, but i say enoughs enough. You can only look at so many snowy pictures before they all start looking the same.

This plant is called GORSE, the flowers are edible in small quantities & taste of coconut(great for salads).

I managed to get some pictures of this little beauty -:




It's a PIED WAGTAIL



Yep it's cold !!

Please walk safely as this weather has made for some treacherous conditions & i've seen a couple of folk on their arses.
