Clever Kes

There was a stiff, sultry breeze over Parndon water meadows today. This kestrel held its hovering position perfectly.

We searched in vain for the little bridge cygnets. Nobody has seen them or the adult swans since the eggs hatched.

The lush spring greenness is at an end. The sheep's parsley is going to seed and the leaves on the trees are becoming dark and leathery. :(
