A slight improvement in the light today had me out at Watermead Park looking for birds and there were plenty to be seen, although the most interesting ones stayed out of reach in the middle of the lake. The ice is receding and over half the lake is water again. I could see the Goosander, Shovellors a couple of Pochard and Gadwall, plus Grebe, Cormorant and the usual residents - Mute Swan, Mallard, Coot and Moorhen.

The colours on the water caught my imagination, then this Cormorant swam out. It was too good to miss.
A bit further round the lake this female Mallard settled down in front of me and as there wasn't much else happening I decided to take the picture she was posing for.

Interesting how the colours changed as I walked round the lake. Further out in the Lake the contrast was so bad, most of the pics I took, from there, weren't worth keeping. At least it was better than yesterday and the day before. that grey horrible drizzle made it a waste of time taking the camera out - so I didn't.
