I Was Not Eating Eggs [All Weekend]. Pt.2, Out For A Meander

A day out with the Folks started up on t' High Moor, but an absolute hoolie interrupted play, so we relocated to lower more sheltered ground [in a nice deep gorge]

This proved something of a Good Idea;

Dippers display!!

Woo! :D

Before that, a little scenery, once we'd found somewhere to hear voices below a shout;

 

View from the One

Place Out Of The Wind

When we eventually dared to venture back into the Blast,

Wheatear!

Holding on very tight...

 

Hiding from Miss Miller

We will be back when the weather decides to be more like the forecast.

Getting back to more sheltered climbs, those two were not the only ones by the river;

Grey Wagtail

Another Dipper!

Not just damp birds on view.

Wood Anenome

Wood Sorrel

Daffydowndilly

[proper one]

Oil Beetle sp.

A taste of the local geology

:)

Canis horribilis bicolour

[sporting his new ElecTrek PDD*]

More bird?

Listen [ok, you can't] Look up, then

Singing Mistle Thrush

Serenading our afternoonses

:D

 

Dippers DO perch

in trees!

 

:D

Despite the wind's best attempts, we had a nice time [once we'd warmed up, anyway... ]

Be Seeing You...

[[* Parent Dragging Device.  If you're old enough {or gaggle hard enough} to remember the neon on black masterpieces** of 80's rucksackery, you will have already wondered why not the yellow one...]]

[[** Well, they were very fancy at the time. ]]
