The Lake in Winter

Thanks to everyone for comments yesterday, I'm glad most people didn't take me too seriously!


On Sunday morning I decided to go and look at the nearest body of water in the hope that the reflection of light on water would improve a dull day.

This is Needham Lake, next door to where the big boot-sale is held on Saturdays later in the year. I wasn't the only person to have the idea and there were families everywhere with children on scooters and in pushchairs walking the circular path round the lake. There's a bit about the lake HERE.




Most of the birds on the lake were mallard ducks, and various gulls, moorhens and a couple of swans.







The only other interesting bird was a little egret - below cleaning his feathers- a poor photo  - who flew off when I got a bit closer.





It was 3℃, damp and chilly and I didn't hang around long.


Back Tomorrow

  1. It's very soothing being near any body of water isn't it. Not quite as much when it's busy and damp, but it's always worth a trip out. ❤️
