Relatively quiet at #Royden this morning given it’s half-term. Still the occasional harlequin ladybird catching rays.

Cubbin's Green, how to visit and all you need to know Stroll along the beach, picnic, and enjoy the public nature reserve. Here's all you need to know about Cubbin's Green and how to visit.

Interesting. I don't go there often. Given its shape I guessed it was a marl pit and that may be the case. www.shaylehollie.co.uk/cubbins-green/

Unless I'm much mistaken, the landowner feeds them. It's "officially" known as the Caldy Wildfowl Collection. deeestuary.co.uk/news1124.htm

Listened to Death of an Ordinary Man by Sarah Perry on BBC Radio 4. I guess every demise is personal and different but an important topic nonetheless 📻

Wander around a very blustery #WestKirby for the first time in a while. Did not know there was a pond on Cubbin’s Green.

Video of the godwits from earlier today. About a third of the number routinely present.

This week I’ll be listening to the latest from Liverpool band Circa Waves “Love and Death” which, despite the title, appears to be full of catchy tunes. 🎵

It was surprisingly frisky for a while. Needless to say, a few hardy kitesurfers were making the most of it. Rather them than me!

Slightly chilly and damp visit to #Royden this morning. Fungi dying off on tree even as new clumps appear. Heron posing as ever. Coffee at the courtyard cafe.

Yes, it was pretty bad last week during the high tides but we persevered. The new path helps a lot through the worst part but it's not a substitute for suitable footwear when it's very wet.

A dry, cracked path runs alongside patches of grass and small plants.

Walked from #Thurstaston to YOT. Pleased to see the new path now usable. OTOH will be interesting to see how the clifftop path holds up over autumn and winter. Sky overcast but a good light for watching the ducks and waders.

Today’s totter around #Royden notable for numbers of ladybirds on fences and railings. A prelude to hibernation perhaps?

haha, me neither. this shot was taken from behind the gate!

Pleasant wander around an overcast #PortSunlight. Coffee at Hulme Hall which, perhaps unsurprisingly, has a connection to the Fab Four (many places do).

Very much liking Richard Ashcroft’s new album, especially the more up tempo tracks like Lovin' You, Heavy News, I’m a Rebel and Lover.

#Royden v busy this morning so no coffee stop. Something or someone has had a go at some of the fungi which is a bit sad.

A narrow dirt path with a wooden boardwalk runs through a marshy area, bordered by trees on the left.

Unexpected emu in the pecking area.

Encountered during walk from #Thurstaston to YOT via the high tide diversion. Work underway there to make a proper path. #KC3P

Didn't see any in the cafe to be fair. And yes, paying overly close attention to the forest floor doesn't do much for the overall experience plus I'm sure passers-by thought I had a screw loose. But, hey, it's only a week a year at most.😉
