Maghull-Town Green- Aughton- Maghull

After a grey day yesterday, the sun is back out and, although cold, a beautiful day for a walk.
Usual problem with capturing photographs but, unlucky for some, 13 observations.
Walk took us down Millbank Lane and onto Brookfield Lane heading towards Aughton. After Spring Farm we took the footpath to cross the railway and onto Mickering Lane. Another footpath took us through to Town Green Station where we headed past Aughton Village Hall and across the fields to St Michael's Church on Aughton.
Footpaths acroos the A59, across the fields below West Tower Hotel and onto Back Lane.
Heading straight on rather than turning onto Swan Lane we took footpaths back to the A59 and to Hartley's Nursery for refreshments.
Continuing across fields to Millbank Lane and home.

A week in the forest and surrounding area

Had a great week in Sherwood Forest in a cabin. Surrounded by wildlife and with the family. managed to capture a range of plants, insects and animals.
Looking after a 2yr old Grandson prevents the usual observations but great fun.
Will have to revisit.

Grand National walk

Walked along the Leeds Liverpool Canal to try to see the horses as they take part in the Grand National.
Usual duck etc.you would expect to see on the canal plus the four you can see I captured on camera. Lots of Coots and Moorhens.
Just failed to capture a Water Vole (Arvicola amphibius) on camera. He/she was resting on waste at the canals edge.
