Mandarin Ducks Stockgrove Park

Unfortunately we lost Mum this morning after a very prolonged illness and thought I would clear my head and pop up to Stockgrove CP in Leighton Buzzard with the dog and the camera, which was one of Mums favourite places when she was mobile.

Came across a large number of the usual suspects on site, but also 30 + Mandarin Ducks which coincidentally were also one of her favourite birds and enclose some photo's taken late afternoon, she would have loved to have been with me.

RIP Mum
