Locally we have had poor weather for the last week but on Sunday we enjoyed a very pleasant walk on the Cleveland Lakes circuit of the Cotswold Water Park.

There was not much bird life but their food store was building up nicely in the countryside with an abundance of berries.

The most interesting of the birds were great crested grebe with juveniles, a jay and red-crested pochard.

We spotted 7 species of butterly (Large White, Small White, Brimstone, Holly Blue, Peacock, Red Admiral, and Speckled Wood) and lots of dragonfly and damselfly but most escaped my camera.
