So here they are.....just an afternoon walk along the canal bank as far as the Pikington Bridge.
1) Blue Barge.
2) Red Barge.
3) some kind of duck and her ducklings
4) Wild flower - I haven't the foggiest what it is. I'm sure Dave will know(he's a mine of horticultural information)
5) Duck sunning herself on her nest - have forty winks I think.
6) Woodbine(the plant) not the fag...also known as Honeysuckle.
7) A damsel fly.
8) Two Damsel flies....doing what damesel flies do to make sure they don't go extinct.
9) A leaf made shiny by honeydew.
10) Rosa Canis...a wild Dog Rose.
From what I can see, it looks like the small flowered willow herb, not as "blousy" as the large willow herd that looks you in the face, this one is often overlooked as it is small and not covered in flowers like its cousin
