In normal times this is an island on an arm of a large lake. Last week I was able to walk out to it with only losing my shoe once in the mud. This was because of the draught we are in. Anyway I did it because I could and was rewarded on the far side by a view of dead trees in the water with one of them having a large Heron on one side branch and an Osprey on the other. Took a few photos but a 300 lens just wasn't good enough.
Of course it's the opposite situation here where we have had the wettest spring and summer on record and many small rivers and ponds that were unusually dry last March are now, if anything overflowing.

Tom identified the birds in the first post. He said they were " a large Heron on one side branch and an Osprey on the other."
This year has been freaky weatherwise, so unstable. I'm just hoping we don't have a very bad, cold winter. That's why we're flogging away in the garden - before the weather closes in on us again.
