Today was not as sunny and started off quite wet. We still saw some cormorants flying overhead but we got some much closer views of some very little birds just after the rain stopped. There were blue tits, wrens, robins and goldfinches in the hawthorn bush opposite and a woodpecker visited the tree beside it. Some wagtails and a squirrel were briefly on the towpath. A robin came up very close to he boat and a wren even came right on to the gunwhale. We had a walk in the afternoon and again were pleased that when we stayed still and quiet we got a close view, from directly below, of a robin in a tree.
