Bird watching walk

A very cold and frosty start but I did eventually get moving  to
join up with a group led by Dusty for a Bird Walk around Arnfield Reservoir and Swallows Wood - those who got out of bed earlier also went to Etherow Wood Park.

A good number of bird species were spotted but the human company was just as valuable.

Add Extra  is a Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly to prove it did warm up a bit by midday.
