I had an hour spare this afternoon and wanted a little exercise. The light was very poor and so I didn’t attempt to photograph any little birds. Fortunately there are lots of cormorants, grey herons and mute swans at the lake at the moment.

I tried to pick out some of the colour of the lake too.

I was surprised, with the poor light, that I could manage to photograph some of them in flight – such is the progress of technology, both with the camera and the computer.

And its not all about birds …
