This was a posing cormorant that more or less welcomed us as we got in. It stayed with its wings stretched for some time - probably trying to dry them, unless it's a specific behaviour I'm not aware of.
This is one of the lakes and the building (on the right) which houses the permanent Plants and People Exhibition.
And this is just a typical autumnal photo. We went along a path that could easily have been named the 'world oak path', with a number of indigenous and introduced species. It was interesting to see the different leaf shapes and stages.
Last week I was able to go to Battersea Park and managed to get a decent picture of a heron. They are either very photogenic or I'm very lucky when I take a photo of them.I'm hoping to go to the Wetland Centre and Richmond Park in the next few days - it's the perfect time of the year for it all, especially if you're lucky enough to have good weather.
My headaches are still a bit of a problem. I've worked out it's down to posture most of the time so I'm being careful and it's helping. Tiredness is certainly not helping and I need to make sure I drink enough water, which I don't always do. But I'm happy enough, things are progressing and I'm now considering going away - Cheshire and Cornwall are on the cards if people will have me there...
If you have the time, check Bradley and Laura's blog - I'm not even remotely jealous.
