We made an impromptu visit to Accrington and I caught these pics on the way past Hambledon Mill.

The RSPB: Goosander

They`ve been on the canal for a few weeks now, I thought they looked a bit like Grebes:o.

My pics are hosted on an external site so are not reduced by the Accyweb software. I limit them to 800px x 600px as anything larger becomes unwieldy and wastes server space.
As a comparison - the pics of the mill are less than 80Kb and your images of the viaduct are over 500Kb.

That's the best way of saving server space and of keeping control of your pics,Shame I'm not software savvy :)

Today in Pictures, a bit of a disappointment.

1. The now empty signal box.
2. Heading down to the wet bit of Huncoat Colliery.
3. The water is at a higher level due to it snowing earlier and melting almost straight away.
4. A bit of a pinch point.
5. Very soon the hill side should be covered in Bluebells.
6. Time for a right turn and leave the wet bit behind.
7. This is the disappointing bit, scramble bikes are using the entire area to ride around, and are ruining the area as a consequence, riding through the bluebell areas, churning up the footpaths, and making deep ruts after many bikes have gone through in wet conditions.
8. Pendle Hill in the distance.
9. Back lit Burdock.
10. And finally I have no idea what this is about, its a way from the paths, and has the name Mrs Clough in shiny things on the side

Today in Pictures, a walk between Grane Road and Jamestone Quarry, complete with a biting wind that was cold enough to give you that brain freeze that you get with ice cream.

1. Grane Road is between me and Ogden Reservoir.
2. You would expect that to come down in high winds.
3. Climbing the hill.
4. Looking back across the road to Calf Hey and Ogden Reservoirs.
5. This is as far up the hill as I can go, the quarry fence is just over the wall.
6. The road is hiding behind the mound, but Ogden Reservoir and further over is Musbury Heights, a place I have ascended to many times.
7. Almost at the edge of this Quarry.
8. From my windswept vantage point I am looking down on Troy Quarry(its between the trees) another place I have visited on a number of occasions.
9. This is the quarry zoomed in a bit.
10.Having returned almost to my starting point a quick scoot around the other edge of Jamestone Quarry, the water really is that turquoise colour perhaps its due to the activity still in the quarry, they are quarrying stone and making it into road-stone.

Today in Picture, we are off to see Jeppe Knave, after putting on the style.

1. Its a gated community.
2. Walls as far as the eye can see, if you squint
3. You can always find a wet bit if you are really trying.
4. You can walk for ages and it looks like you haven't moved.
5. I'll get a nose bleed going over there.
6. Its the trig point overlooking Pendleton Moor.
7. Its all a bit moist when you kneel down for a snap, underfoot its sphagnum and a peaty substance that will give up its moisture to pressure.
8. All walls lead to a style at some point. In the distance Clitheroe.
9. Almost at Jeppes, these styles can be a killer, its the last time I come on a horse.
10. Here we are, a man with a fascinating story, still told after all these years, not many of us will be able to say that. The link gives the story. https://www.flickr.com/photos/davema...-h5ZJku-kNyw3i

She'd been a naughty girl and told off then.
