Take off
It seems that only one day in every seven is sunny at the moment.

And the days are short.

So I’ve got to take the opportunities for engaging with nature whenever they come along. A glimpse of sun means we’re scurrying out for a walk with cameras in tow.
I like this shot of a Black-Headed Gull taking off:

And this one of one bird escaping a noisy food-grabbing frenzy:

After a healthy dose of nature I feel my mood has taken off too. And I’m heading back for a feeding frenzy of my own.
