Oswaldtwistle Moors, and they are a lot further away than they appear with the naked eye, so allow extra time if you plan to visit.

As one who has travelled through the beasts with the frost nibbling my nutmegs,I would recommend an approach from Grane Road just opposite Calf Hey reservoir, there is a car park (it closes at 5.30pm). Which ever direction you approach from transport will be required. Just remember when you go, you may be gone some time.

I have geo tagged the location in Flickr, click on the map and choose the hybrid or satellite option.

Re: Today in pictures

Today in Pictures, another short walk, and some subjects have been shot before, but I hope differently.

1. The colour is a bit stronger.
2. I keep snapping this, I just cant get what is in my minds eye, but time to let it go.
3. I find it is always a help if you carry a pocketful of plastic wickthings.
4. Also in various poses.
5.This shot up since my last visit.
6. As has this, or I just missed it, perhaps its time to take off my balaclava, now its getting a bit warmer.
7. Colourful new leaves on a Pieris.

So with that it was time to put my plastic wickthings back in the box and head for home

Re: Today in pictures

Met a fellow amateur enthusiast out on my walk this morning. His was much bigger than mine (x 400) -he was out taking photos of birds -was an interesting exchange. New camera arriving this weekend - a second-hand buy from my son's girlfriend. We'll see if there are any results...!!

A new camera always opens up new possibilities with different functions to play with, you didn't say what sort it is. But happy hunting with it when it arrives

That woodpecker is unusual, I have only glimpsed them before, never seen them at a feeder.

Unfortunately the seller (Martina -son's girlfriend) has had to pull out of the sale. When she mentioned to her mother she was bringing it to show me, she got told off and isn't allowed to sell it as it was a present from her parents. The new one she got at Xmas off her Grand-parents is a better one but they want her to keep it all the same -big disappointment

Re: Today in pictures

Annual get-together on a stormy May Bank Holiday weekend with friends from Pavia and Venice. Booked into a local Trattoria -The Antico Pavone - The Old Peacock -it's been there, in San Martino in Beliseto, since 1859 as you can see on one of the photos which is a terracotta date-stone. Very rustic place with lots of character -great traditional local dishes and it's excellent value. What more could you ask!
On the menu today a traditional minestrone with Tripe (see photo) not to everyone's taste but very popular here. We all had their signature dish as a main course which is Guinea Fowl Oven-roasted in Clay (see photo of it on a trolley with waitress Barbara) -until about 10 years ago it was cooked directly in the clay but EEC hygiene rules mean they now have to put it in grease-proof paper. It is absolutely delicious and drops off the bone. Buon appetito!
