Temperature: 9.2 Celsius at the start but felt much warmer in the sunshine.

Beaufort Wind Force: 0-1. Mainly calm, but occasionally rising to Light air,
The weather today was better than expected, warm enough to discard my jacket and walk in short sleeves.
Birds seen or heard today included: Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Common blackbird, Black billed magpie, Moorhen, Mute swan, Goosander, Great cormorant, Mallard, Great tit, European robin, Black headed gull, Herring gull, Moorhen, Woodpigeon and Feral pigeon.
This turned out to be a fairly quick morning stroll, only slowed slightly by meeting people we knew out enjoying a morning stroll too.
We were too quick to stop for lunch on the walk, so we returned to The Groves for Ed to eat his sandwiches as we basked once more in the warm sunshine. We even saw the Lady Diana set off upstream carrying about five passengers.
Too early to visit Wetherspoons for liquid refreshment so Ed went back to his hotel and I headed home to enjoy a glass of Port ad sample some venison pate.
