Great Northern Diver
Christmas in Rugby had been planned for some time but the untimely and sad death of my father overtook our plans, with his funeral yesterday. This was a very poignant and dignified celebration of his life. Today, however, I felt the need for some "me" time and a walk in the fresh air, and what better place to visit than Draycote Water. Despite being very busy with families out for pre-Christmas walks, it was good to renew my acquaintance with my old local patch. Good numbers of wildfowl were present with a late year tick of Scaup plus Great Northern Diver and Grey Wagtail. The weather was mild but the light was challenging' rather grey was a good description!
