Tapping St Louis* back on!!

Yo Peeps   Felt well enough to go birding yesterday so took the kipper to Barnes Wetland Centre. Not well enough to face the Rubic Cube yet.  What a nice day in turned out to be. The old current had put his hat on and it wasn’t too taters** I was rewarded with ( I think) great shots of the pulchritudinous wuzzo.  First I’ll give you a couple of headshots.  A Mrs Hooded Merganser and Mr Red-crested pochard

Now peeps, you know I like water movement and colour composition, so was pleased with the way the sun reflected on the rippling water.  The two wuzzoes are hooded merganser drake and a bufflehead ducky

During my perambulations I seemed to be followed by a curious little robin. Here’s a smudge of the saucy little bird watching me from a nearby tree
