Truly magnificent!

Spent several hours with the hit squad on the last of the Himalayan Balsam - to get at it we had to go under the bridge which involved wading in the WoL which was not much more than ankle deep at the side.    
   
Arclight and Mr A passed by and gave us a wave from the bridge.                                

On my way home I met the Leith Swan Team - still 7 cygnets, who are almost the same size as their parents (the latter nearby but not in the frame since they were busy chasing off a couple of female mallards, goodness knows why!).
