marsh man Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Morning All .... and a Very Merry Christmas , if you like a drop of fresh air then if you are getting the same weather as we are in Norfolk then you are in for a treat , I took my dog out around half past seven to walk around the top end of the estuary at Burgh Castle , the tide was high and duck were everywhere with a sprinkling of geese , over the other side of the river the main lot of geese were waking up and making a fair bit of noise , this is normally a sign that it wont be long before they take off and sure enough a few minutes later they lifted , as you couldn't see then beyond the river wall you heard the wings before you could see the flocks lifting up , then there they were , 100s upon 100s of them all calling out and quickly gaining height , today it was like the armistice with not a shot fired nowhere and they all headed off to there feeding grounds with no disturbance , what a perfect start to the big day . Hope you all have a good one . All the very best MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yates Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Just been for a fantastic walk around the lakes and woods in beautiful down town Rotherham. Very warm for December but I’m not complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 South of the border from you but it's sunny in Suffolk. Got a few homemade sausage rolls to munch on, washed down with a few beers then out for an afternoon walk. I'd rather it was snowing but there you go 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 YeS beautiful day here on the Solway and pinks feeding two fields from the back of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 I think most of the country is being favoured with nice weather today. I was out with my two dogs earlier too, cold, crispy frost, clear skies and barely a peep of wind. A perfect winters day for me. No geese here, but a group of 4 roe deer grazing in the first light of morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Yes really like a good christmas morning, watched the pinks come to feed on a field as I was on my way to the marsh to walk the dogs. Always seems all is right in the world walking the dog's along the sea wall on a crisp Christmas morning. Have a great day everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatureBoy Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Peace n quiet of first light was magical! Great to have a bit of sun on ya back in Suffolk for a change. Been watching newly arrived lapwings and golden plover on the very water logged fields. Someone had some festive fun in the woods last night! Found a ball mask, rope, cane, poppers and lube up the farm . 😉 Bet it was them pesky carol singers getting full of Christmas spirit having a bit of yule log after to much mulled wine!. Ho! Ho! Ho! Enjjoy ya all! NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
