killingworth lake (late/early) and duridge bay

Wednesday night i was at Killingworth lake trying to get a good picture of the sun setting, which i did, and then the following morning i spent taking advantage of the excellent lighting that early morning brought with it. i was happy with the results to! a few days later i went on a visit to Duridge bay, compared to the Wedensday/Thursday it was very dismal, grey featureless clouds hung over and it was rather cool to. very few photos i was happy with aswell. Hauxley there was very little of what i could see anyway. then visited Duridge pools and Cresswell pond, Duridge again very little. Cresswell turned up 3 Avocets and many martins swifts and swallows.
