Fen Drayton Lakes are used gravel pits and are now managed by the RSPB , they are well within our local lockdown restrictions. I wasn’t sure what to expect today as much of the area had been under water recently, but most of it had dried out making rambling along a pleasure and it was such a warm day I left my coat in the car.
A walk down to The River Ouse found the river still flowing fast and looking very muddy with just a few hybrid Ducks and a pair of Mute Swans braving the water.
On one of the sheltered lakes hundreds of Shoveller Ducks were feeding and Three Great White Egrets were taking off and landing on the other side of the Reed Beds.

Sunshine and Birdsong a real tonic and food for the soul.
