We were up early for a Winter Bird Count and found that the moon had not yet set. This is a few days after the full moon (Snow Moon).

WCRC 47815 slows with the Northern Belle ecs, it was late leaving Carnforth and after being looped at Euxton Balshaw Lane took an age to get through Wigan. By the time it passed me it was obviously in trouble and stopped in section under the A580 East Lancashire Road bridge I am told for nearly an hour.
As I type this it looks to be stopped around the Warrington Bank Quay area ...

An early morning stock move from Carlisle Kingmoor to Burton behind work worn DRS 37716 was potentially worth photting this morning.
I was aware it was to be six 'coffins' but was not prepared for three of them being the 'scabbiest' I have ever encountered! Not sure why this move came about but I am sure somebody out there knows?

Door Corona en familieomstandigheden, waren we niet in staat om bij Plandampf in het Werratal te zijn. Maar na zoveel jaar kruipt het bloed toch waar het niet gaan kan. Daarom besloten mijn vader, mijn oudste zoon en ik in de meivakantie naar het voormalige Oost-Duitsland af te reizen om daar te genieten van smalspoor stoom.
Nadat we twee dagen de Zittauer Schmalspurbahn hadden bezocht, gingen we door naar Dresden. Daar werd als eerste de Lössnitzgrundbahn bezocht, gevolgd door de Weißeritztalbahn. Hier zijn we in 2015 al eens geweest, maar dat was voordat de lijn weer tot Kipsdorf in gebruik werd genomen na de verwoestende overstromingen in 2002.
Due to Corona and family circumstances, we were unable to join Plandampf in the Werratal. But after so many years, the blood creeps where it can't go. That is why my father, my eldest son and I decided to travel to the former East Germany during the May holidays, to enjoy narrow-gauge steam.
After visiting the Zittau Narrow Gauge Railway for two days, we continued to Dresden. The Lössnitzgrundbahn was the first to be visited there, followed by the Weißeritztalbahn. We have already been here in 2015, but that was before the line was put back into service to Kipsdorf after the devastating floods in 2002.
Aufgrund von Corona und familiären Umständen konnten wir leider nicht bei Plandampf im Werratal sein. Aber nach so vielen Jahren kriecht das Blut dahin, wo es nicht hin kann. Deshalb haben mein Vater, mein ältester Sohn und ich beschlossen, in den Maiferien in die ehemaligen DDR zu reisen, um Schmalspurdampf zu genießen.
Nach einem zweitägigen Besuch der Zittauer Schmalspurbahn ging es weiter nach Dresden. Als erstes wurde dort die Lössnitzgrundbahn besichtigt, gefolgt von der Weißeritztalbahn. Wir waren bereits im Jahr 2015 hier, allerdings bevor die Strecke nach Kipsdorf nach dem verheerenden Hochwasser im Jahr 2002 wieder in Betrieb genommen wurde.

Slipe Lane (between Cheshunt & Broxbourne) - 1315 (15 late, unfortunately due to a person being hit be a train between Broxbourne & Bishop's Stortford earlier) - 17/06/20.
Why do some people, who have never worked on the Railways, think they know it all?????
Another day & another dull shot, but when I left home in Hertford Heath, there was torrential rain from a thunderstorm & no shot would have been possible.
RIP "Mr Maximum" Willy Thorne.
