Fur and feather.

Adel Dam,Leeds.
Not what we had planned for today,but our passports have been put away as my sister has a bad cold,and so our train trip has been postponed until next week.

However we made the most of the glorious winter weather, and went over to Golden Acre Park, and a walk to the bird hide at Adel Dam.
Managed by Yorkshire Wildlife.

Needless to say Itook lots of photos. Some I will put on extras.
A mandarin duck was swimming about in the reeds, also lots of nuthatches, long tailed tits, Jays, blue tits, among others.
We had the woods to ourselves, and both said on a day like today with the golden sunlight and blue sky, couldn't think of anywhere better.

However I decided on this shot of the robin, who today has been upstaged by the squirrel.
Not often you get both in the same shot.
