A mainly photographic entry today (though aren't nearly all my posts?), but this time of a young moorhen 'exercising' at the edge of the pond. I could have included a cormorant (I was wrong about his absence yesterday… he's still frequenting the pond), but won't; nor will I include the heron. So it's moorhen time, or portraits of the one of the most ungainly looking chicks in the avian world.

And the proud parent who were watching close by.

One final shot today, and most unusually it doesn't include any wildlife. I took it this morning as the sun shone through the trees across the churchyard.
