Rye Meads ooh a patch tick!

After lunch I headed to Rye Meads for a wander.....

the light was poor....

There had been reports of a Water Pipit and here it is ..... alas only a record shot.

And then the sun came out!!

It was an interesting day weather wise.

Other birds seen? Fieldfare, Redwing, Snipe, Green Sandpiper, Green Woody, Lapwing......

Ickworth

It was foggy when I woke up and so I never flew out of bed early..... but heading towards Ickworth the fog lifted and the sun came out!!!

Breakfast....

and apparently I am doing my bit to restore & preserve the Italianate Garden

I had a Gingerbread Scone for lunch..... it was such a nice day I sat out and ate outside!! I even took my coat off!!

As I sat there a couple of friends wandered past! What a small world.....

Very surprised to see TWO Red Admiral butterflies!!

What a glorious day!! More please!
