Park life (both Gheluvelt & Croome), Worcs: Thursday, 16th March, 2017.

9:35am precisely.
A kingfisher in Gheluvelt Park.
Whatcha mean, you can't see it?
I'll crop it.
There you go.
Dead obvious now, eh?
Just to the left of dead centre.
That's 28 sightings in 11.5 years.
Of course, all this proves that you only see a kingfisher when you 
only have an improper camera on you.
This early sighting is due to having to get into town early to meet Roger 
who's taking me for a walk around Croome Park.
11:00am-ish.
Arrived at Croome Park and we are appalled to find that a dreaded school party 
is marching upon the main house.
So we immediately go another way (as you do).
All the work of Capability Brown.
Couldn't half do with some sunshine to brighten the sky up.
The main house with party of school kids carefully cropped out.
A different building.
You can't beat a few daffs.
A building, trees, and some cattle.
As above, but without the cattle.
There's a bird hide with several feeding stations.
This is 'The Great Tit Only' one (with a Blue Tit eyeing it up).
So, what do I think of Croome Park.
Very nice. Must return with Victoria. Preferably on a day without blanket cloud cover.
Walked 2.71 miles with Roger, by the way.
5.2 miles by the time I walked home and nearly 8 miles by bedtime. 
Blimey.
