Weekly adventures W/C 23/03/26

 This weeks adventure, although limited due to work commitments and the weather, which seemed to have decided to go back to being quite cold, also with some rain back in play again

So work week, did allow for a beautiful rainbow out in the street, always great to see and i love the difference in the colours of the sky on either side of it

These were previous rainbows  taken and show the same differences too

My only main expedition due to the weather, which is not my usual excuse but going to play that card for the weekend, was early Saturday morning as the weather was cold but bright and sunny

So a trip to Middleton Lakes, Staffordshire which is an RSPB nature reserve, setting off early to get there for 8am, thinking we may be the first, only to find a lot of people there already apparently trying to spot an elusive woodpecker[which i heard a few times but did not spot them]the volunteers there are really friendly and informative and as an RSPB member parking is free, a nice bonus!!

The walk was just under four miles, nice and easy and flat, lots of stops to photograph the scenery

There is an abundance of birdlife in the lakes of the wetlands

There are beautiful stops for the birds too, they are very friendly and i think maybe enjoy being spoilt a bit too much by visitors

Some of my favourite photos on the day

The colours of the spring time were so beautiful there

Sunday was a quiet day, quite cold and raining, so a nice change to stay in and watch some films 

The weather in the evening did clear up and finished the week with a beautiful sunset
