A chance to get out again with Mrs R today, saw us heading to the lovely Peak District. Today we planned to carry out a walk which takes in Padley Gorge, Lawrence Field, Mother Cap, Over Owler Tor, Winyard's Nick, Bole Edge Quarry & back through Padley Gorge.
The weather was pretty windy, with sunny periods, but no rain which was great, allowing for some chances to take some nice landscape photos.
Obviously when carrying out this walk, my beloved birds are a big feature and today we managed a few nice sightings which included 6 Pied Flycatcher, Dipper, Grey Wagtail, a pair of Mandarin Ducks, 4 Willow Warbler and a lovely displaying male Curlew.
The walk can be a bit testing in places for people who are not steady on their feet, with a few scrambly bits, but the views are fantastic and well worth the effort.
After finishing our walk and some excellent lunch at The Maynard in Grindleford, we made our way over to lovely Bakewell to finish the day.
The following are my favourite photos from our day.
