This is the on-line journal of a small ill-defined group of mostly geriatric runners who share a love of the fells. It also covers a sub-group, best described as drinkers with a running problem, who struggle to combine dwindling athletic ability with an increasing thirst for cheap alcohol. A sort of "Last of the Summer Whine" (sic) in Walshes. Posting limited to registered contributors, but comments welcome.
Just wondered if you ornithological types could identify these chaps spotted in Mesnes Park at lunch time. Had a go on the RSPB bird identifier without joy doh!
Whose this little punk then?
Someone must know this guy with a beak like that!
Couple of shots from tonight’s run.

If you had ti invent a name for the first one, you might call him (her?) a tufted duck, and yo'd be right!
The one with the fancy beak is a moorhen, sometimes called a water hen. This isn't a duck but a rail.
