2-2-11, circa Croxall

The back is slowly getting better, only had Monday off from work although managed to do some work at home on my laptop as well as reading various blogs about the Black-throated Diver at Clayhanger. I have learnt some useful tips for my next diver find. Five Whooper Swans are grazing in a field just after the railway bridge and right hand bend past Croxall GP (coming from Alrewas) on the left. I had not got to see them before but on the way home and with no traffic around I managed to slow down enough to see the five birds in amongst the Mute Swans.
