Mandarins

I had a lovely catch up with friends over lunch. We don't seem to manage to meet up quite as often as we used to, so it's even more lovely when we do.

After we'd gone our separate ways, I went to Poole Park in search of the two mandarin ducks. I'd all but given up when I spotted them in a different spot from where I've seen them before. Distant, dull day and messy background. Ah, well - they were still lovely to see, even though their colours didn't look as vibrant as they would in the sun.

Thanks very much for all the great comments, stars and hearts for yesterday's 'Blue Tit'!
