Raptor

We went into Cambridge this morning to meet with a group of friends; we did not go last month and will not be able to go when they meet again in December so despite the weather we decided to go.
 
We meet in a café near the Grafton Centre and afterward went to catch the Park and Ride bus at the Grafton Centre. The queues were horrendous and it was obvious that the buses were not running well. We waited forty minutes, while seven buses went in the other direction to Milton and then came back again, all following each other. One bus did return from Milton earlier, but it was taken out of service! We debated whether to walk to the town centre, get a bus to Addenbrookes and then walk to the Park and Ride. I also debated whether I should call a taxi! It rained heavily the whole time and by the time I eventually got home I was extremely cold. A glass of red wine and supper soon warmed me up. Then one of our friends visited in the evening so it was lovely to catch up with him.

Today’s picture was taken before lunch. The Cambridge Raptor Foundation had an area just outside the Grafton Centre with some Owls and a Kestrel on display.
