Could it be more grey?

A view of Nanpantan Reservoir on my walk this afternoon.

After four hours of staring at a computer screen and manipulating code, I thought it was time to get out. Basil agreed.

A pair of swans on the water, a pair of Canada Geese, and the pair of Mandarin Ducks have returned, no doubt hoping to find somewhere suitable to breed.

The grebes appear to be getting edgy. With one male to two females, there's going to be some competition.
