Mildly dissatisfied...

A beautiful sunny morning, and once the frost had gone it actually felt warm again. I took myself off to Hampton Court in the hope of finding some bees and other insects to blip. Once again I came away disappointed - a few bees high in one of the trees and a couple of fleeting glimpses of a butterfly, and that was it.

As usual, I still ended up with around 150 shots, but I haven't found one that I really like, so here's a rather severe letterbox crop looking down the Long Water, where a few hundred gulls, ducks, geese, and coots were no doubt having a lovely time.
