Cygnet

I headed off to Worcestershire as there was a good day forecast, and went to check on the wildflower meadow at Hanbury Hall.  It's a bit too early - but I've popped a photo on as an extra.

My challenge of the day was to find the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve for which I had a village name and a postcode. My trusty Satnav announced I had reached the destination but there was nothing to be seen. So, I gave up and went to buy some odds and ends at Webbs of Wychbold, the garden centre.  While I was paying I asked about the reserve and one of the youngest girls remembered that she'd been there on a school trip.

"It's through the sailing club" so I headed there.  There were a few leaflets but no signposts. However, the man in the café was very helpful and I headed off to one of the hides.

A very friendly group of enthusiasts - discussing wines and father's day and pointing out what there was to see.  A sedge warbler and lots of other fine birds.

I'm afraid I've gone for the "aaah factor" and couldn't resist this charming little cygnet. Oh, and some baby coots....
