Kept my eyes open as I have seen a Kingfisher there once last year -amazing, he wasn't around today though. Have only ever seen one before over 30 yrs ago while out walking with my dad along the Ribble down near Whalley Nab...

The geese are amazing ... but I am already looking forward to spring when they come back

... the corn harvest is in full swing, and there's nothing geese like better than corn ... so most of them will be around for a few weeks yet. We don't have any kingfishers here; but there are quite a few cardinals in the neighbourhood ... and the bluejays of course.

The leaves are turning ... the fall colors in this part of the world take one's breath away. We may have frost next wednesday; that means that the nice weather that will probably come after it will be our Indian Summer.

And Canadian Thanksgiving is on October 10. Hunting season just around the corner. And hockey is back. This is a great time of year.
