This isn't the most exciting walk that has been on the list, but on reflection it turned out to be a good choice to have a very local walk. At least today the weather was dry, cold and at times bright and sunny. Conditions underfoot were generaly quite good, but the towpath between Golden Nook and Waverton was a little muddy and slippy in places.
The highlight of today's walk was the number of birds that we saw and heard.
They included: Mute swan, Mallard, Teal, Snipe, Canada Goose, Black-headed gull, Herring gull, Common gull, Buzzard, Kestrel, Long-tailed tit, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Blut tit, Great tit, Treecreeper, Lapwing, Moorhen, Coot, Grey heron, Carrion crow, Robin, House sparrow, Mistle thrush, Song thrush, Rook, Jackdaw, Collared dove, Woodpidgeon, Wren, Fieldfare and Redwing.
After walk drinks were at the Plough Inn, Christleton, where real fires greeted us. The beers sampled today included Spitting Feathers Old Wavertonian and Theakstons XP and and Special.
