Where is the sun?

I must admit to getting quite fed up with all this grey weather. I really don't mind the cold but it would be so much nicer if we could have some sunnier days. I tried to find some colour at the park this afternoon but there just wasn't anything to find. After my walk with Hercule I stopped at the bench where I used to see Mr Robin. I hadn't seen him for quite a while now but a few minutes after scattering some food on the ground first a female Blackbird appeared, then a male Chaffinch and finally Mr Robin put in an appearance as well. Despite the poor light I managed to get a few photos of all three of them and although the other shots are marginally sharper, I eventually decided to blip one of Mr Robin as he's the most brightly coloured one of the trio.

Just as I was putting the camera away to go home, one of the two men who the police had stopped and talked to last Friday walked past me and his Beagle was off his lead again so it looks like the effect of that encounter with the police has only been short-lived!

My cold seems to have reached a status quo. It hasn't become worse, but it hasn't got any better either.
