    Also female mandarin duck and some remaining chicks on the canal in Bollington through the week. Apparently, she started with 7, but is down to 4 now.

    A jay taking pine cones off the conifer in our wood.
    Not spotted one in the immediate locality before - although I am spotting them more & more when out on the bicycle, particularly in the Arnside & Silverdale AONB.
    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
