I've missed taking the camera out. So off I went.

It's April already and it suddenly struck me that it's been ages since I went out for photos. So I went down to the riverside to see what's been going on.

It was great to see the grebe's building a new nest and I look forward to seeing their new chicks. There was already a family of ducklings exploring the river and even a surprise visit by some mandarin ducks.

It was great to be out again.

Big changes need to happen at this end and it's taking up so much time.

All being well, it'll all be sorted this year, and could well be an opportunity for new photos and new locations.

In the meantime here are a few photos from the outing.
