    A couple of Moorhens were swimming around too, but not quite close enough to get both in the frame. This one wasn't too far away from the car but it meant, unfortunately, that I couldn't get out so had to take this through the windscreen.

    Bathing

    Birdforum's Andy Rowlands lives not too far from my brother, so I usually try to meet up with him for a day's birding when I'm down there. This time we met at Pontypool and at lunchtime we sat beside the canal. I was watching a Moorhen having a bath on the other side and took a few pictures...

    Back from Sark, I've been exploring new-to-me parks around the Wirral.

Now I have. It's a small pond with...
