Conditions were a little breezy and chilly but there was a little sunshine to keep us warmed enough and a hot coffee was very welcome at the lakeside cafe.
The lake was looking great after some tidying up from the ground staff here. But the best show was put on by the wild life. We were amazed at the sight of a wild heron stalking fish right beside the pathway.
I actually watched it catch a fish and swallow it whole in a matter of seconds, incredible!
There were some swans also parading around as if they own the lake. The geese were keeping a safe distance as the swans are much bigger! 馃槅
There are more flowers and plants appearing every time I come here and today was no different.
But you cant go to a lake in spring without spotting some young wild fowl. A family of Egyptian geese were on the bank, including a pure white one. A very rare sight.
We enjoyed the walk, and most of the way around we were sheltered from the wind. The coffee was good too! 馃榿
