Mud Glorious Mud

Probably not one of my best ideas with taking two white dogs to Stanton Park, but they deserved a good run out, and at least they had a nice warm shower when they got home. And for once it wasn't raining, just a very light drizzle.

Birds of note were Marsh Tit, Kingfisher, 3 Goosander and 62 Mallard.

A few images from our walk.

One lot of Mallard

The ubiquitous Robin

Ted. He comes in white as well.

This doesn't bode well for clean jeans...............
