The Farmers Market Sunday 14 March 2011

A reight good do this is; it needs local people to support this venture and to buy local produce, we have some fantastic food producers here in Lancashire, and the food miles are negligible compared to the stuff that trundles up to the supermarkets.

Following being told of his presence on the river two weeks ago, this little Wood Duck has started to cause quite a stir. He and his girlfriend have moved up onto the Park Lake, which is nice as he is easier to see/ He has featured in the Nelson Leader too, the next few weeks should be interesting to see what the ducklings look like, if we get some.

I will continue to try to get shots of the happy couple and add as often as I can.

One from a few weeks ago: this is a few images stitched together

A rare Duck on the river in the Centre of Barrowford

Carolina Wood Duck - rare around here, is this an escapee or has he blown in on the wind?

Amazing to Watch as a Tree is Felled from the Top Down on Ann Street

Witch Way? ha ha; The Pendle Way Really, a great walk.
