The river in January

You would have thought it would be cold, but in fact it was a clear calm day today, and the sun was warm and the tide just at half past one, so we sloped off down to the River Lynher and went out from Wacker Quay.

Avocets! I like those guys. I tried to write a poem about them once.

There is something about these photos that inspires a much-needed sense of calm optimism. Thank you for that.

All the blues of sky and river definitely help me feel calmer and more optimistic!

Beautiful shots!

I've never seen an avocet... I think you've inspired me to brave the mud and try a winter walk along Poole Harbour.

It was definitely a good wildlife watching day yesterday, even though the tide was high so the birds were all hiding up in the saltmarshy bit rather than strutting along the foreshore.

How lovely! I've never seen avocets in the wild either, I'm a tad envious ;)
