By midday things had warmed up so I decided to motor across to the market town of Horncastle about 25 miles away. Always a nice journey across the switchback roads over the Lincolnshire Wolds. Having arrived on a non market day the main car park was nearly empty. I paid my £1 for up to two hours stay and set about filming the River Bain which flows through the town. Disappointingly there wasn't much variety in the water fowl.
This is always a popular place for young and old alike to feed the ducks. Most of the video clips were taken hand held and the sound is untouched from the original recordings.
Beautiful dew-spangled spider web! Those ducks look well-fed.
ReplyDeleteExcellent John, Something for me to aspire to.
ReplyDeleteI was walking along our local river yesterday and saw similar scenes of ducks and many geese too. We aren't allowed to feed them anymore as it is supposed to be bad for them. So there are signs posted "don't feed the wildlife"...
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of a swiftly flowing river!
Beautiful photo of the dewy cobweb :)
ReplyDeleteWilma: Not often a dewy web is in a decent position for photographing.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Thank you. I think you are well ahead of me. I tend to just throw things together.
Ellen: I think they are often given things like bread which has little nourishment for them. Fortunately they seem to find plenty of natural food in the river.
Ragged Robin: Thank you. Not often the lighting and position are just right.
