Lunchtime walk around the park with my dog, the sun was deceptive because the wind was strong and must have had some northerly influence as it was pretty cold!
Picked up a back-up camera yesterday with a couple of lenses, all images below were with a Nikon D50 and a 50mm 1.8D lens.

| Pair of Mute Swans drift by quite closely |

 |
| Looking north towards the sports centre and beyond that is a cricket pitch |
 |
| The park attracts a lot of gulls both on and off the water and of at least five different species sometimes more if you are lucky. In the background you can see the newish nature area consisting of various sized ponds some fenced off, the Mayes Brook has been made more natural and the whole project was part of the UK's 'Climate Change Park' |
 |
| One of the larger ponds |
 |
| And another with the obligatory fire extinguisher! |
 |
| And my dog Coco was never far behind me |
