Walking down to the lake corner with the Ponderosa on the left. Then through Dog Kennel and Gavel Hole Woods, along the cycle track towards the Stone Bridge and up the steps to the Lake (Reservoir)

A pair of cormorants drying off, presumably after stuffing themselves with fish, doubt if the fishermen will appreciate that.  There's a large white goose which, David says is probably a farmyard goose that escaped. The other birds are a Coot and a Moorhen. There are lots of Canada Geese and Mallards. We didn't see the Heron today.

Up the hill away from the lake and back to the Sports Centre for our refreshments past Lesser Celandines and Dandelions.

What no 'reflections' photos this week!    Too much wind, rippled surfaces.
