Ducks on the canal at Cornhill Bridge near Bettisfield Extremely noisy ducks, almost demanding some food stuff, but entertaining nonetheless. We happily quacked at each other for some time until I had to apologise for having no peas/beans or even bread to offer them. Lovely to see.

Footpath below the canal The canal is reinforced here and lies above the footpath or towpath beside it. It is slightly unnerving being a metre or so below such a volume of water.

Footpath to a viewing tower over the moss A newish viewing tower has been erected here. The wooden walkway is in fact recycled plastic I believe.

Viewing platform on the edge of the moss Installed for elevation for birdwatchers and other visitors.

The lone birdwatcher here today admitted that he hadn&#039;t seen much; no snipe or woodcock (they were at the margins of the moss and in adjoining areas but leave the moss at this time of year, apparently). Also no Redwing or other migrants yet, although they also were present in fields and woods nearby.

Scene from Bettisfield Bridge Lovely. And after a beautiful walk around the canal path and through the moss it is almost time to repair back to our friend&#039;s home for a sumptuous lamb dinner. Life doesn&#039;t get much better than this.

Partly renovated cottage in Bettisfield village One I geographed two years ago ( <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6356211" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6356211">Link</a> here), before renovation / refurbishment started. It has stopped by the looks of it. Maybe there has been a change of plan? The cottage with planning permission must be worth more than it previously was..It would be good to see this impasse resolved.
