It was looking rather attractive.
There were 3 Grebe chicks on the lake, as well as some Greylag and coot chicks. The Terns look like they may have eggs.

What a great selection of photos. I love the ones of the people in costume at Audley End and the puppets as well. Also thought the flowers, buds, etc. were excellent.
