A glorious day was in the offing and we headed for New Brighton Beach. It was very mild for this time of year....just right for walking along the beach in the hopes of finding some waders. We found a very obliging Bar-tailed Godwit and after walking down to the Mouth of the River Mersey, I took some images of the Oystercatcher's basking in the sunshine. Here also, was a juvenile Cormorant, looking very splendid as it spread its wings. I hope there will be a few more unexpectedly gorgeous days like today before winter truely settles in.

After leaving New Brighton, we headed for Ashton Park (recommended by a nice gentleman).It was very picturesque....a little gem tucked away and worthy of some scenic shots, I also took images of a Greylag Goose that happened to follow me around, and I could not resist the cute little Grey Squirrel busy nibbling on an acorn. A lovely little place!
