There was a light drizzle today. I had my old 400D Canon with me. It's funny how something once so familiar now seems so alien to use, but it takes photos and that's enough. And I'll be kitted up properly again at the weekend \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

The lake was quiet (not many people venture out in the wet… odd that \ud83d\ude09 )

I did get a rare (for me) shot of an Egyptian goose on the water, and given events in Egypt it seems fitting to post a shot or two.

The herons had deserted the treetops, and were gathered on the lawns.

One of the duck feeders seemed to have brought some food especially for them. Hence this scramble!

Back home the trail cam revealed that the badger had been back. If it keeps to its current timetable I'm unlikely to get any photos. The recent visits have been at around 4.00am. The foxes are constant through the night, except when I'm around. I did glimpse a fox tonight (it evaded the camera though). I'll have to be patient.
