Back in the land of the living

Or the land of wildlife, at least. As we edge steadily back "home" there is a marked increase in things to see. On the T&M we had a cormorant following us along the canal, diving for fish as we churned up the bottom. On the fourth dive he came up with a good sized lunch, probably a bream.
We are seeing herons every day and saw kingfishers two days running. At least, I did. Elaine was inside and missed them both.
Also, as the weather improves we are spending more time outdoors. Here's a typical shot, BBQ consumed and fire pit all aglow.

Last night we burned the last of our wood at Dunham, sitting out until past ten. I was searching Spotify for a Jay Z track as pipistrelles zoomed extremely close around my head and shoulders. Elaine said, "they're all around you". I said I got 99 problems but a bat ain't one (some of you may have to look that one up 😉).

Charlotte and Frank came for a walk around Dunham today then we took a late afternoon cruise into Sale, where we currently sit. Off to restock at Tesco now then on to Worsley tomorrow.
