Trip to Hull

A few young bird pics today. The first one arrived early, a young dunnock.

I went to the shop to get some lunch and we had it early as Tina needed to leave by midday to get to a meeting in Hull. I went along and said I would probably catch the bus home. My main reason for wanting to go was to get a thin cover for my phone, but I really wanted to get to the funky pedestrian bridge. I got up the first ramp, but not actually onto the bridge. The plants along the side are getting established now.

I went from there into Princes Quay and got a great pair of trousers for a fiver in the vintage shop!

As I walked into the city centre it looked like rain was on the way.

Tina had asked me to see if I could find a small stainless steel bowl, so after I had bought my phone case I went to three different stores. Eventually found something suitable in TK MAXX but the queue for checkout was long and I ended up having eight minutes to get to the bus otherwise it was another hour and a half or so to wait! The other passengers were boarding when I got to the bay! I also bought a new bird feeder along with the bowls and it has a ceramic top and base. I have mealworm’s in it now,

I sat in the walled garden with Tina, she spotted an unusual bug, not quite in focus as I couldn’t see what I was taking, but will post it anyway as it was pretty.

More bees and a bug.

A young chaffinch and robin next.

Will finish with a couple of pictures of Liverpool, thanks to Mike.
