A few months ago I took a shot from the works car park – here’s another shot from a slightly different angle to catch the rather nice sunset we had after a day that had been quite dismal.
At lunchtime today I took a stroll around part of Alton Water in search of an Egret that I had seen the other day. There was no sign of the egret but i enjoyed this scene with the birds on the line…one clearly had had enough and left, in what
