Wildlife and landscapes 

just for once i fancied a morning doing some wild life ,And wasn't going to be disappointed ,

 Had a chat with a friend who i knew had  seen plenty of wild life and he suggested i visit him ,so car and cameras loaded and off i went , a pleasant walk through the woods to the place i was told about

 and i was created to this view

isn't nature great 

come on are you there ,got you some breakfast 

it was lovely to sit and watch the antics of these great birds and there antics

   didn't stop long as i didn't want to interrupt there feeding habits , theres always another time

 so as the night time approached  i fancied some sun set 

 So off i went out again this time up to Middleton top engine house the clouds looked promising the sun was trying to break through that meant might get a good set of photos
