I’ve got all behind with everything again.
Spent Monday updating the important people at work about what is happening; not a lot really, all progress seems to have come to a stop. The local 'specialist' has now referred me back to Oxford. I feel like a lump of meat in a game of pass the parcel.
And I stopped for a chat with some work colleagues too.
Yesterday I went swimming, then a quick stroll round the local, and the afternoon……can’t remember lol and then the evening I went to watch a ‘presentation’ at the local Natural History Society, about one of our local lakes, Willen.
It was quite interesting, especially as they used one of my pictures in the talk. (I hadn’t mentioned I was going; just went out of curiosity, and no-one knew I was the ‘author’ of the picture lol)
I seem to be taking too many pictures these days, and not sorting them out quick enough; and getting behind with catching up on blogs.
I used to be so organised once.
Anyway, here’s a few more pictures from the great day I spent at Barnes, with fellow blogger Tricia. These are all from the ‘collection areas’
A couple of sleeping Eider Ducks
Can’t remember the name of these.
Update!!
Ok, now thanks to Roy, Bob and Chris......these are Eurasian Wigeon.
Why couldn't I see that? lol
