This proved to be another good day for walking, not much Sun, only occasional breeze, with good paths that meant that we had clean boots at the end of the walk.
The views today were superb, especially along the reservoir from both the North and the South. The surprise today, was to find that the usually very boggy section of the path had been converted into superb slate chipped path, good enough to push a wheelchair along. a new path around the Nature Reserve had also been created, something that we must explore some time in the future.
The birds today were few and far between, but we did a few displays by the local Ravens. Other birds seen or heard today included: European robin, Blue tit, Stonechat, Great cormorant, Black-headed gull, Lesser black-backed gull, Carrion crow, Winter wren, Meadow pipit and Common blackbird.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Britannia Inn, where Celia enjoyed her tea for the second time in 3 days, Roger enjoyed his orange squash as he watched Wales win in the rugby, and the rest of us appreciated the Lees bitter!
