The flat black earth of the fens that were until drained swamps with tidal watercourses are know for tales of spirits and the wide skies.

Out this evening to catch the sunset and returning swans . .

No - just me with the setting for aperture pref giving a 1/5th second exposure on a Barn owl low over the pasture below me on the bank.

Temperature just on freezing - by worth going out a couple of miles down the road towards the Welney Reserve.
