We haven't walked on Southampton Common for a couple of weeks and since then the change in the colour of the leaves has been quite dramatic. We found a tree with enormous leaves, take a look at this!
We think this is a Norway Maple leaf?
Scenic.
It was quite a surprise to find that the boating lake has been drained apart from a very shallow bit at one end that the ducks were making the most of. There is a great deal of silt and rubbish in the bottom of the lake so maybe a bit of clearance is about to happen.
The swans are on the ornamental lake now and the cygnets are going white at last.
A heron was not too worried by us at the other end of the lake on the island. Not a good photo but I had zoomed in beyond the point of no return!!!!! At least it looks like a heron shaped blob!
