Patching Pond
I had to go out this afternoon, but made a detour to Patching Pond on the way back... this is privately owned but there's a lay-by at the 'road' end of it. I've seen Great Crested Grebes there nearly every year since I discovered the pond... and today... there was one present. Let's hope they'll be a second and there will be young ones on the pond again...

Birds and a Concert
First Wigmore Hall concert of the year today. We set off on the first tube of the morning to... try to see Scaup in Kensington Gardens... we didn't ... neither did we see the Tawny Owl... double dip!!
Hey ho.
But sunrise when we arrived after brekkie in Pret.. was glorious.
Some very obliging Herons today..
Some take a dog for a walk.. Pete walked with a Grey Heron..
Couple of Common Gulls were around..
Heard then saw this little beauty on the way out ....
The concert was excellent... first time I've seen/heard the Fortepiano.. which was played beautifully today by
Kristian Bezukidenhout
CPE Bach... Rondo in C minor Wq. 59
Mozart
Piano Sonata in Eflat K282
Adagio Menuetto l-ll Allegro
Rondo in D K485
Adagio in B minor K549
and finally
Piano Sonata in C K330
Allegro moderato. Andante cantabile. Allegretto
We left London and headed off for Bramfield in the hope of seeing a Hawfinch.. we dipped on that too... but did see two Red Kites which was rather nice..
A great day out.
