So on we go over the dinosaur rib cage and back towards the lake, alongside a rivulet where we watched a swan doing it’s thing


Back at the car park we came across a hound meeting

I think they were Beagles after googling doggy pictures.


Saw this cute little lad at the cafe while we had lunch

and then after lunch, back to the lake for more birdy shots
We watched a seagull fighting a tern for some bread


Birds on a buoy
In the distance the sky did a thing over the standing stones,
And that’s the end of our day at Herrington.
all images can be clicked on for bigger versions so you can appreciate their magnificence so much better 🤣
Full album can be found HERE for more birds and stuff.
Stay tooned, though god knows what for, the constant rain has put paid to Sophie and I going anywhere since this day, but we’ll be back! Meantime I’ll be over at The Other Place, click on that and I’ll see you there 🙂
Swans, pups, and cute kids! What could be finer?😊

The older I get the more I appreciate how beautiful swans are. Much as I loved the swan photographs, though, the rain-making sky is the one that struck me the most.
