We were very lucky to see it like this. The lake water level was low for some reason so the waterfowl had temporarily moved to where it's deeper, near the Sackler Crossing. The sun is shining and the air is still and it's November the 14th! A rare and unbeatable combination as our English weather has almost invariably crashed by this time of year into the damp, cloudy, chilly, ill lit misery that is early winter.
