Yesterday I walked home through Ward Park where I saw
Greylag geese, Mallard duck and Black headed gulls which you will see in the first
3 shots. Then I drove to Portavoe Resevoir
which is about 2 miles from my home and on a very muddy path walked round the
lake. Nearly all the autumn colour had
got. There were several Little Grebes, a
lot of Mallard and Tufted ducks and other then dogs, nothing else. I spent most of my time just trying to stay
upright and not end up in the mud. However, enjoy the photographs I did take.
Anglers use the reservoir however there were no many there
yesterday.
Although it was overcast, there were still
some
interesting reflections of the bare trees in the water.
Just as I was about to get into my car, this horse and rider
passed.
I hope you enjoyed this post.
Many thanks for visiting and also to those who leave comment.
I love the reflection of the Greylag in the first picture. But number seven, AMAZING!!! It is maybe your best ever. A gorgeous reflection of the tree.

I did enjoy this post, Margaret, and I have to say I think late November is much more attractive in Ireland than where I live north of Toronto!
