Saturday yes Saturday 8th August 2015

The first day I have ventured out since Monday, this man-flu thing just got the better of me.

Today felt like a perfect Autumn morning, cool windless and sunny.

There wasn't a great deal happening on the lake, about 20 Tufted and seven Pochard and one Gadwall. However the light was great and the autumn fruits are starting to shine through, there's quite a lot of mature Rosa rugosa around the area a stuuningly pretty and prickly variety of the native Dog rose, Rosa canina.

There was a very confiding Grey Heron at the Pwll end of the lake, the light was a bit too harsh for my camera to cope with this morning but you get the idea.
