On Sunday I walked with a group of friends on one of my favourite local walks, along the beach to West Kirby and back. The tide was in and, thankfully, the weather was sunnier and warmer than on the day I took this photo. The kite surfers were out and, by the time we got to West Kirby, groups of walkers were gathering to walk out to Hilbre Island. On our walk we passed the Natterjack Toad Reserve. We were delighted to see the little stream by the reserve full of tadpoles and, putting two and two together, it seems likely they are junior natterjacks. I must go back and see how they progress in a week or two.
I also paid a visit to Church Farm Thurstaton to buy some of their wonderful Wirral asparagus. It was cut, graded, cooked and eaten on the same day, and tasted delicious too. If you visit Wirral during the asparagus season, do go and buy some.
