Pitsford Water - a good standby

We've had a lot of grey days, snow, rain, frost too, but mainly just greyness. That and sheer idleness have kept me inside, watching catch up TV, reading books and the like.
But today was Monday, I had two willing companions and the sun was shining. The fields are still soggy and there are big puddles on some of the minor roads, but Pitsford Water posed no problems. The usual seven mile walk round clockwise from the cafe, and then lunch to finish.

The usual birdlife - coots, geese, swans and seagulls on the look out for scraps. The catkins are very much in evidence now.
