I am so overdue in posting this! Today's a miserably wet day, with snow due later on, and I've found myself thinking about a lovely - dry - day out that I had in November. Well, better late than never...
I've been for a day trip! It was a lovely sunny day, although a bit nippy if you kept still for too long. Our destination was the Srebarna reserve, situated on the banks of the Danube – if we'd have walked a bit further around (and if it was a bit clearer) we could have waved at Romania. (In fact we did wave once we got to the city of Silistra after lunch). It was lovely to stretch our legs and nose about a bit. Dad was visiting and he discovered many snake egg nests. We spotted a few white egrets on our walk, but the best bit was listening to the thousands of geese. We didn't make it round to get a close look at the birds, though we'll return another day. I'd love to go and see the pelicans that Srebarna is famous for! The spiky acacia along the paths were quite something too, yikes. The orange, mealy sea buckthorn berries were also ripe at the time, so I'll try my luck at germinating the small handful that I collected.

Definitely worth a visit.
P.S. Those little specks on the lake above are a LOT of geese coming back in to land.
