Risley Moss

A weekend sorting things out after our holiday, but we took a break this afternoon and had a walk around Risley Moss - Birchwood's real gem. This is the view from the main viewing hide - today Kinder Scout, Shuttlingsoe, Croker Hill and the Cloud were very visible beyond. The Moss itself is not accessible but a ranger told us that it has been a good summer for the birds (7 Hobbies present through much of August)' and that the Adders are doing well. Oh, and he mentioned that Europe had just won the Ryder Cup.
