Yesterday pretty much nowt happened. Settled into my new campsite and relaxed, I was knackered.
One photo and that was when I added the tarp to my awning, exciting stuff
So a walk along to a nature reserve a couple of miles away. The walk was pretty good, lots to see, some amazing looking mountains in the distance and a small town the opposite direction, lots of farming area. Incredibly dry for farming though.
Ready to go:
Got to the reserve was looking forward to this one as it is advertised as having Flamingos. All very unassuming at the entrance and free entry (bonus). After a bit of a walk I saw the first two Flamingos, very cool.
Nothing special apart from I just like this image
Further round there was a wooden bridge to view the wildlife a bit better. So many dragonfly’s, butterfly’s and various bird species.
This is a red knobbed coot, what a great name
These two stayed in position the entire time I was watching.
Not a very good pic but you get the idea, was a lot of them out there
A mix of Flamingos and Coots
I saw this one being brought in, not by a van but an HGV cab - wow
On my way back I was lucky enough to see this guy just chilling. I believe its a Little Egret
Then it was the walk home and phew it was hot. Was a really good walk though and booked myself in for an extra week in this location.
When I got back I decided to walk round the site im pitched at, it’s huge. Some absolutely massive camper homes, a couple below but im not sure the pic actually shows how immense they are.
Tomorrow, hoping to get up a bit earlier, no faff and get out on the bike. Also take a visit to the nearest town to see what’s happening there.
