A few from today, another trip to see the deer but also dropped down into the valley and Derwent. Great to see the highland cattle back on Baslow Edge too.

Fabulous photos Bob and lovely part of the country.

Thanks Hazel. It is a lovely little part of the country, just one of many....

A lovely great Owl Hazel -I really like him I think he's winking!

Fantastic captures of Little- and Great Egrets Hazel. Especially the Bulldozing one! Poor Redshanks

As ever, lovely photos Bob.

I was going to ask if the highland cattle were on the Barbrook side, which is where I used to see them when I walked around there, but the first pic looks like the southern edge of the moor?

Hazel, it's a lovely moor, and if you don't mind heights, from its southern edges, there's some fabulous views.

As with a lot of Peak District moors, there are a number of small stone circles, and a long since disused reservoir, that kept silting up, so it was drained and then the dam was breached to stop it filling up.

Lovely shots, both the landscapes and the animals. I'm not sure if that's smoke behind the deer but a very atmospheric image, anyway.

Same Heron, different fish!

S'easy when you know how, innit.
