A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Thornton 27 feb 2015

Nothing special today, just the usual common fare.

The water flowing at a good speed over the overspill and these two greylags were happy to while away the day watching it and showing off seeing who could stand on one leg the longest. Either that or the water was cold and they stood on one foot until it got too cold, then switched to the other one.

Whatever the reason it didtn't stop them pausing for a drink while still on one foot.

There are some interesting Mallard Hybrids that can fool you sometimes.

And of course a Mute Swan female hoping for a feed
