Swans

Visited Compton Verney this morning to see how things were. Trees only just starting to turn so not much autumn colour at the moment, perhaps next week?

A lot of argey bargey amongst the swans on the far side of the lake although I'm not sure if it was males trying to assert themselves or a bit of unwanted courtship.

A nice morning with a fair amount of sunshine and a slight breeze so that was nice. Quite quiet with not many people about although there was a Tai Chi class being held on the decking by the lake. 

The extra is of some of the houses which have been put up in an area designated as The Bee Village, an avenue of houses of all colours and some with signs up to welcome the bees. Lovely, although not many bees to see but quite a few small dragon or damsel flies and a red kite wheeling overhead.
