Nice weather ...

Faced with an otherwise long grey Bank Holiday weekend, this afternoon I made my first trip for many years to Slimbridge. Not a great time of day, time of year, or weather for spotting rare birds, my expert guide (aka my father) told me, but at least I got out of the house. But a nice place and somewhere I will escape and return to again.

Today's picture is just one of the captive birds on site - a Mandarin Duck. If you believe the saying, today was nice weather for him and his fellow ducks ...
