365 Days Wild - Day 244 by roachling

365 Days Wild - Day 244

Today, I'm two thirds of the way through 365 Days Wild!

I enjoyed a brilliant five mile walk, taking in two of my favourite Derbyshire dales (Chee and Monk's) and seeing a fox, a pair of ravens and my first snowdrops of the year, as well as enjoying a ten minute close encounter with the goldcrest pictured.

A pretty good day!

So well camouflaged in the greens, sweet little bird!

Nicely captured Louise, I never seen one.

@gamelee Thanks. They're quite common, I bet you'll have seen or heard them and not realised it was a goldcrest!

@roachling I was just looking up Chee and got drawn to the Mensal Trail, walking through those old railway tunnels appeals to me. Gonna have to do them now. Thank you.

@gamelee I'm not a huge fan of the trails (I don't like long, flat tracks!) but it is great since they opened the tunnels and there are places you can leave the trail for a bit of exploring. If you do the whole length, or start at the Bakewell end, I recommend the cafe at Hassop Station ;)

Sounds like a wonderful day. This pretty little bird blends in so well with his or her surroundings.

Great shot, love the little goldcrest looking so focused on something up the tree.

Lovely shot of him, he is so well camouflaged. I have just looked at your Blog here. How blessed you are to have such amazing walks and countryside near you and being able to walk them. This walk was really lovely, the water and path through. I have never seen a dipper. Your snowdrop picture was breathtaking. It certainly deserves it's own place on 365.

Great find, I never noticed the goldcrest at first it is so well camouflaged. I love all the different greens in this shot

All those wonderful greens and textures - love this. The little bird is a bonus for me.

Lovely shot, the bird is so sweet and the moss is fabulous. Hope your bruises don't last long.
