After enjoying a lovely breakfast after our stay in Leeds to see the superb Biffy Clyro in concert the previous evening,Tracey and myself travelled over to the Bolton Abbey estate for the day.
On arrival after the relatively short journey,through some worrying banks of fog it has to be said,we arrived at Bolton Abbey,got the walking boots on and we were off.
The forecast for today had said light rain showers and that was pretty much spot on,but we still enjoyed our visit to this beautiful area.
I really do like visiting here in autumn,purely for the stunning autumn colours and it being such a photogenic place.
We also managed to see some nice birds,albeit not the lovely Pied Flycatcher's and Redstarts we see in the spring and summer months on our visits here.
Highlights went to some off the expected residents here,including a lovely Dipper splashing about catching it's breakfast,a Red Kite overhead,Goosander,18 Mandarin Ducks and a lovely Kingfisher which i enjoyed showing a young lad and his family through my binos.It was just great seeing the families faces seeing their first Kingfisher.....very rewarding!.
But of course the glowing sight of the autumn leaves in the sunny periods were just fantastic to enjoy and i could'nt help but keep stopping and taking photos,with the Beech trees looking particularly superb.
The following are my favourite photos from our day and we look forward to our next visit.
