She did her best ...

... to be in the centre of the picture. My inadequate technique is the reason you get only the head and neck of this female shelduck, putangitangi, one of which was blipped in November.

Raining heavily this morning, and we were expecting the technician to repair the new induction hob (killed some weeks ago by a series of major power surges during an electrical storm; so much for modern systems) very early. So I put my run on hold.

Then the builder came about the drying out of the timber saturated when the pipe was leaking. Another week, he thinks, and then he can start making it all good again.

I did the run, on which I took this attempt at panning, about midday.
