A muddy, shallow bank covered with rough, short grass - leading into quiet water reflecting a blank sky, with a small sign emerging from the water - a black-lined yellow triangle with a pictographic person not waving, but drowning, and the word 'DANGER' below, merging with its own reflection.
Also for #saturdaySignage - from #CarsingtonWater, #Derbyshire - March 2025.
Juvenile Ruff
No Glossy Ibis for me at #CarsingtonWater this morning despite a couple of hours searching around Sheepwash. A smart juvenile Ruff was some compensation as was a Great Egret, 2 Pintail, Yellow-Legged Gull and a likely Caspian Gull @derbyswildlife.bsky.social @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #UKBirding
A 'hard as nails' #raven posing in pretty #blossom 🤔🌼🌸

Lesser Scaup, Ring-necked Duck, GN Diver & Rt Diver today at #CarsingtonWater then at least 2 Hawfinch in churchyard at #DarleyDale
Me running up a fairly steep incline, giving thumbs up to the camera guy... despite being an hour and 27 minutes in to my run.
Me, crossing the finish line in a somewhat anguished and dishevelled state!
My finish time, 1 hour 39 minutes... and one second.
Wooden half marathon medal.
A new season's best for the half marathon! 🥇🏃♂️
And yes, it still counts even though it's my first race of the year! 😝

Extremely dodgy footage of the Lesser Scaup late evening at Carsington Water yesterday. #birds #lesserscaup #carsingtonwater @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social
Whilst all scopes and binoculars were trained on a #lesserscaup yesterday, surrounded by lazy snoozing #pochard, this trio of #mallardmusketeers came to see what all the fuss was about!

Well what a murky Christmas Eve it was at #CarsingtonWater this morning!! Although at a distance, this Redpoll was an absolute tonic... Just needed the gin 😉
