We visited Rufford Abbey Country Park in Nottinghamshire, where there are woodlands, a lake, and gardens to explore.  We just had a walk around the lake to feed the birdlife.  It was still quite chilly with a bit of snow forecast next week.

On the lake were some nice looking goosanders. This medium sized duck belongs to a group called the 'sawbills.'  Their narrow bills have teeth resembling a saw that helps them grip fish.

There was also a lot of greylag geese.  One of the geese turned upside down in the water, having a wash.  It reminded me of someone in a kayak doing a barrel roll.  Their pink legs did look funny, stuck up in the air.

It righted itself in the end!
