Chilly stunning sunset

Today, a friend and I had a bit of a late start to the day but that didn't stop us from going to Fairburn Ings for the afternoon!

It's amazing what you can see, just ask at reception of any nature reserve and they will happily tell what has been spotted where and when.

Arriving about mid afternoon, we were informed a green woodpecker, bearded tit and a water rail had been spotted on the reserve. Fortunately for us we saw the water rail but neither of the other 2!

There were some fantastic views of Fairburn village from across the lake.

By this point, the sun was setting but it made for a very pleasant afternoon walk round the reserve.
Further up the same path, we saw another fellow walker taking pictures. When we turned round, we understood why!

The orange of the sun was beautiful!
It was a short day out but it was worth it!
