A Walk by The River

Continuing on the theme of “tourists in our own town” we though it wise to stay close to home today ’cause we just knew it was going to rain……. just a wander down the river then?…….:)

Walk through chestnut Coppice and cross the old railway line……….

……and the river widens out just before reaching Bridgnorth, It’s quite shallow here and the level is a little lower than normal at the moment…. The mandarins don’t mind though, there are more important things to think about right now!……..

The Goosander wasn’t impressed with us though and being quite shy he left in a hurry…..

As we walked downstream, the cormorants arrived a little further up-stream!….

In all ten arrived, as we walked back towards them Chrissy though we’d better take a few shots while we could and although by this time It was raining we took it in turns to hold the brolly!….:)

Eventually we were right opposite the tree they had taken over and seemed happy to sit there all day, I can only assume they’d already eaten……….

After an hour or so we decided that we were cold enough to try a coffee with a drop of rum in it so made our way back, took the opportunity to snap a Buzzard too!…..:))

…….and spotted a reason to pop back here soon!…… Bluebell season is almost upon us and there are signs all around the coppice, should be a good show later in the month……..:)

Happy Easter…………..
