We  wandered over to Stoke Park yesterday and again this morning. We have benefited from the exercise and have enjoyed meeting people (at a distance). I have been very challenged to get photographs of the birds as they are either hiding well or moving too fast (as was the case with swifts today). It’s fun trying though.

Cormorant

Reed bunting

Moorhen with chick

Coot with chick

Chiffchaff fascinated by insect

Swifts (there were two to choose from and lots of different light to cope with).

Mallard

Canada goose

It was too cold for dragon flies and damselflies it seems but there was this moth in my garden:

I need to investigate this one – maybe a mint moth?
