Welcome to Colchester

The Borough signs have changed their tag from "Britain's Oldest Recorded Town" to "Britain's First City" I wonder how much that ego trip cost the ratepayers? This is the A134 looking towards the "City".

Phragmites Beside a Stour Backwater

Common Reeds by a Stour backwater. I am not a great ornithologist but I am sure I could hear a Cetti's warbler, warbling in the reeds. The sign declared that fishing is reserved for local residents.

Cob By a Stour Backwater

Moments after this shot was taken the cob went into a take off run along the backwater to see off some paddleboarders who were getting a tad too close to his Pen on their nest.
