Thursday afternoon walk with friends

We normally start from this RSPB shop at Fairhaven and walk about 4 and a bit miles at a fairly fast pace. Because of the weight I don't normally take the dslr, but I wish I had today. A beautiful kestrel was  hovering almost directly above our heads. Nice to see it though. 

The weather seemed much colder today, but it soon seems to warm up once we get under way. I wrap up warm and then remove clothes, hats and gloves as I go along. 

I joined a gym at the end of last month and this walk seemed to loosen up some of my stiff muscles. That exercise class yesterday was a bit tough! I think I will try the aqua aerobics tomorrow. It might be easier on the muscles.
