IN BETWEEN THE SHOWERS AT STANTON

A break in the showers and I headed for Stanton Park. Lots of bird song, highlights today were greater spotted woodpecker, wren, robin, blue tit, great tit, nuthatch, song thrush; also a  couple of orange tips flitted about when the sun came through for a while. On the lake, the hybrid mallard just had two ducklings with her.
