Diary photos

Little later this month than usual - couldn't be helped. Little later in the day too. Weather was kind though with nice sunny breaks, and no wind.
Nice group of Darters and Cormorants drying their wings on the grass bank opposite, so must be plenty of little fish in the wetland (saw some caught by the birds).
