This was my last picture of the Bewick duo and their cygnets taken in August at Arundel. Back home, and we have had a lot of wet weather...
This poor Pidge was soaked when he landed in at my Windowsill Cafe!
Here is the first of a few statues depicting birds. 'Hope is a thing with feathers'. Liz and I took an excursion to Leonardslee Gardens and explored 2 sculpture displays. Some sculptures were better than others - but several depicted birds.
Some looked like birds and some....did not. It was likewise for all the statues - birds and non - some were metal lumps by artsy peeps and others were realistic.
There were two exhibitions at once - one, a short term display from Surrey sculpture society, and the other a long term display.
This is where we sat to munch our lunch...and where I spotted something - well 2 somethings - in the treetops.
Cormorants! I also spotted a silvery blue streak stream over the lake....a kingfisher - but I had a bag of corn chips instead of my camera in hand at the time...
Some more 'real' birds were sighted however, before a return to the statues.
That's a beautiful place. Those statues are cute.
ReplyDeleteLiz and I had mixed feeling about the statues - some we really liked and some we really thought 'huh?'
