Friday morning walk over at Marbury Country Park which wasn't too crowded for a change. I think it gets busier at weekends so Friday is a good day to walk in the woods and by the lake. A friendly twitcher who socially distanced in the bird hide we sat in told us he was looking out for the bittern - a rare and shy bird that he'd spotted and photographed before. He showed us a photo that was very impressive , of a bittern blending in very well with the brown reeds. Also some lovely shots of kingfishers he's seen at the very spot we occupied. Mind you, he did have a very large and expensive looking camera with a telephoto lens about a yard long! Afterwards we wandered over to the garden centre as Hazel wanted to buy some plants for her Mom and sister. The walled garden was full of Xmas trees. We were tempted but will buy one nearer Christmas when hopefully they will be a little cheaper.
