A walk in the park

Monday morning was dull and cloudy but at lunch time the sun came out and we decided to go for a walk around Fairburn Ings our local RSPB reserve. Temperatures for time of the year were about average and it felt mild enough in the winter sunshine.

It's a pleasant walk along the banks of the river Aire and by the lake through the tree lined path. The path was pretty muddy in places up to ankle deep making for an interesting walk.

Most of the bird life had decided to remain around the feeding station for some easy pickings from the reserves visitors. It's a great location for some close up shots of the birds. It can be difficult to spot which neck belongs to which swan as they squabble over tit-bits.

Sunday's weather was dull and dreary fit only for browsing seed catalogues and planning next year's crops.
