Feathers

Five ladies were in fine feather this morning whilst walking around the Bolton Abbey estate - a circular from Barden Bridge - taking in Cavendish Pavillion

Espied Mandarin Ducks - three sets of ducklings - dippers flying in and out of a nest - and this chaffinch eating the crumbs left by fellow diners at a tea room we took refreshment in

Will also be in fine feather tonight - another birthday do - second in three days - good job we're not feather weights
