A Puppy called Poppy on the canal yestersay was running the oppisite way
from where it was walking and was barking at me and just decided to sit down
and just watch me.Everytime i tried to move she would run off her owner was calling her
but more interested sitting there
The Closer i have ever been to a juvenile Grey Heron it was sat on the
bank on the Trent & Mersey Canal.
A Kestrel Perched on lamp post looking down in the vegetation looking for
mice and voles.
A Small Murmaration of Starling on the trent and mersey canal , at first i thought
they were Waxwings.
A Adult Grey Heron on the Sparrow-Hawk Island. Perched on the Hunts Lock.
