For all the feeders in the back garden have been replenished it was a quiet morning in the back garden, I think the sparrows suspect the Big Garden Birdwatch is ongoing. The school playing field was strangely quiet, a handful of black-headed gulls first thing and only a common gull at lunchtime as I walked over to the station.
It was another grey day and I wasn't much up for the planned outing so I had an early lunch, got the train into town and played public transport bingo. Which is how I ended up on the 203 bus heading for Debdale Park with the intention of having another look at the Gorton Reservoirs. Three stops before my destination the sky turned black and it started pouring down. For once common sense prevailed. I stayed on the bus and made my way home via a circuitous route, counting the woodpigeons and jackdaws along the way and noting the dozen redwings in a tree in Reddish town centre. The rain calmed down on the approach to sunset. Tomorrow is another day.
