Nancy is out of town this week so our Corgi Lili has been coming to work with me. We have stopped by Fish Park on the way to the shop these last two mornings and have seen some nice birds. However, our walks always lead to a power struggle. Lili has a bad habit of standing right at the end of her leash and pulling a little whenever I am looking through my binoculars. It makes it a bit difficult to focus on a fast moving bird when your dog keeps tugging on your hand.
Mornings are still a bit chilly here especially when the wind is blowing like it was this morning. Still we have had a good couple of days and have added new species to our Fish Park list. Here is what we've seen...
