Our visit to England !

We went into England (Exminster) at the weekend to visit our son and daughter-in-law and managed to get a bit of birding done at the same time. Strange goings-on up there with Cormorants on wires!! and White-headed Blackbirds.




I have never seen a Swan bathing with such force, at times on his back and almost completely submerged. It made quite a nice series of shots. Sue
