I enjoyed this trail, and hope to do it again as the seasons progress. It's in a well developed suburban area, and seems to be appreciated by dog walkers (as apparent from all the doggie-doo I had to dodge - shameful!)

1. The nights have been cool, so no mosquitos today in this swampy area. I'm glad of that!
2. It's called Silver Creek, apparently.
3. I think it's a bat house, but could be for birds too, I guess.
4. Bright red berries - don't know what kind.
5. Sign showing that there are beaver, muskrat, kingfishers etc. in this valley. I didn't see any.
6. Golden Rod - it's everywhere.
7. Orange flowers - the sign called it Spotted Jewel Weed (Impatiens Capensis). Thank goodness for signs!
Pretty pink weed - maybe Himalayan Balsam?
This morning - walking around the track - a very different start to the day.

They are rennovating the local church which has a leaky roof - note Renato working high up with no saftey gear! A local pensioner in his shed doing something with a screwdriver - then our very own "lumberjacks" clearing up after trimming the oak trees in the field near my house.

Looks like it's quite mild but autumny - is number 9 the gate to the old St- Mary's graveyard in Altham?
