Today although cold was a dry sunny day so we headed off to Danish Camp at Willington, Bedfordshire. The site next to the Great River Ouse has been known as "Danish Camp" for many years. It is an English Heritage scheduled monument, believed to have been built originally by the Vikings as a place in which to live and repair their boats, in readiness for battle.
From Danish Camp it is possible to walk or cycle along the Ouse Valley Way (beside the river) to Bedford in one direction and to Great Barford the other. We just walked one way as far as the Willington Lock before turning round and then walking back the other way a short way onto the Grange Estate.
The robins must love the area because we saw lots. This little chap managed to stay still enough under the bushes to let me get a picture.
There were quite a few ducks, swans and moorhens on the river including a few of these manderin Ducks.
The sunlight looked lovely reflecting on the water.
