Lazy Otter

The light was variable this morning.   I don't recall seeing such a large flock of Linnet before, although I believe this is a characteristic.   The flock was feeding on rough ground and seemed to take off for no apparent reason, fly round and return.  The male Mallard seemed to have plenty to say!   I have seen juvenile Great Crested Grebes throwing out a leg behind them (without knowing why) but not an adult.
