Very busy at work means our outings are few and far between, it was nice to get out with them.

Today I've been photographing these cute little guys at Formby Point. Whenever I've been I've always seen at least one Red Squirrel and come away with several decent shots. The highlight of today though was one Red Squirrel came right up to me and took a nut (Ok they aren't nuts but legumes) right from my fingers, luckily he moved away so I could actually get a photo..

There are many nuts that look the same but this one is mine....

The last image the squirrel came and took the nut from my fingers, I've never had that happen with grey or red.... The Reds are extra cute....

I made a special trip to Formby point to photograph the red squirrels and I’d no sooner got set up when 6 large coaches turned up.
Each coach discharged at least 50 screaming children, probably 8 and 9 years old, all wearing high vis vests and screaming and running around so that was the end of my photographic session.
Anyway I went the short trip to Crosby beach to see Antony Gormleys statues in the sea and got some great shots of them with the tide lapping around their legs.

I can image that being quite annoying. I've only ever been late afternoon 5pm onwards on either a Sat or Sun, I usually go after visiting Martin Mere and RSPB Marshside at Southport.

Be careful if you are travelling down the North Wales coast.
It seems pirates are back.

Saw her (Duke of Lancaster) last year by Mostyn as we were travelling home from Porthmadog after visiting friends. We like to do the coastal road when time permits.

Its changed slightly since last year Dave. They have slapped a bit more paint on her and put those large signs up.. There is a big portacabin just through the heavily locked and guarded gates. Security men at each end.

I was told the ship houses a few art studios.

A bit too windy for this guttering in town!
