13 February - Stockton Reservoir - 931.6 miles to go

My wife and I walked around little Stockton Reservoir late this afternoon. ½ a mile.

Thanks to the rain, wind and generally unpleasant conditions, now 50 miles behind schedule. Tomorrow I have a day off work, and the forecast is (of course) rain and wind.

A heron at Stockton Reservoir
One other bird seen today - the weathercock in top of Southam church spire. Wish I could say I know a little more about it, but I don't. Who made it, what it's made of, when it was made? All I recall is that it has a hole in the middle of his tail from some ancient vandal taking a potshot at it, and that I have seen a photograph taken during restoration work of it being held in someone's hands and not too long ago, I think.
