Gheluvelt Park, Worcester, Sunday 9th May, 2010.

1) The Met Office has done it again. It's one of those days when they say it's definitely going to be dull and wet. As a result we cancel all plans and decided to have a lie-in and then stay local. By the time we emerge from our pit it's lunchtime and, lo and behold, the sun is shining and it's a wonderful spring day. Typical.
2) At least our local park looks lovely. All the hard work the 'parky's' do in the week has come to fruition. It's quite difficult to get a shot without hordes of families lounging around picnic-ing. Ruddy Met Office.
3) Gheluvelt Park nesting swans update: you'll have to take our word for it, but there are only two eggs left. So, at least five have been predated by something or someone. I could have got a shot of the remaining eggs as the swan stood up and preened itself for a split second or so but I was too slow. The Pentax was neatly encapsulated in it's little protective wallet-thing and by the time I'd unzipped it, ferreted about, switched the blighter on and zoomed in, the swan had sat down again. Sorry.
