Wet - Still

At last, we managed to get out for a walk again this morning, following days of rain.  Everywhere is wet and very muddy.  The old Nutbrook canal is still flowing at a great pace, although not so full as we expected it to be.  It's still rushing through the reed beds.

Onward to Straw's Bridge and 'Swan Lake' looked as if it should be renamed Black-headed Gull Lake.  Dozens of them are in residence at the moment, jostling for place with the Geese and Ducks.

Fixing us with their beady eyes, they were obviously on the lookout for any approaching bread-bag.
