RSPB Sandy

As ever, I don't really have the proper photographic kit to take decent bird photographs (See my RSPB Fowlmere post for further comments about the importance of size), but it was still a very fine afternoon and I managed to find a variety of interesting and rather lovely things to photograph. I may have even seen a raven, or I may have deluded myself, but either way I didn't manage to get a decent picture.

I definitely saw buzzards and red kites, plus magpies and pigeons and a squirrel, but yet again, no photos were taken, or those that were, were not up to it. Oh well...

Wrest Park Sunday

Having been a tourist in my own county last month, I thought I'd try someone else's county for my July blog post.

These are some highlights from a visit to Wrest Park, near Silsoe, in Bedfordshire. It's a lovely place. I can't believe I've lived close to it for so long without visiting it.

Apparently, people who watch Bridgerton may recognise some of these interiors...!
