Snow in Grovelands Park

 Having taken my fill of photos in Broomfield Park I headed to Grovelands Park

Winchmore Hill




Cottages just outside the park








Grovelands starting in the woods and wetlands area



























Grovelands House, built to a Nash design, the grounds landscaped by Repton, so it should all look good, even without the snow!


















Now I bet you have never seen this little critter. In amongst the vast numbers of coots and moorhens on the ornamental lake was a single Hooded Merganser. It isn't even a British bird - its from the States. While apparently the odd one gets sighted in the UK as a vagrant, this one is most likely a captive bird from some waterfowl park that has escaped.




































The Woodman pub - would be so snug inside if only....
