The Grebe.

Could not explain just how cold it was this morning on the canal, but at least I managed to photograph a bird I have not seen before, the lovely Grebe. It only stayed a few seconds, then was gone.
Spent the afternoon hand stripping a cairn for someone, which took two and a half hours, so pretty exhausted now.
It is now blowing an even worse gale and raining, great and it is June!!!
