Cotswolds & Birdland

We had a relaxing two day break towards the end of November 2004, based in The Washbourne Court hotel, Lower Slaughter. The weather wasn't very good, (apart from the early part of the first morning!), but it was soooo relaxing!! The bird pictures were all taken at 'Birdland' in Bourton-on-the-Water.

I hope you enjoy this gallery despite the fact that, owing to the mainly overcast skies, these beautiful villages weren't looking their brilliant best. Thanks for looking!

You have some beautiful compositions in this gallery Chris. Even dispite the cloudy days, the quaint cottages stand out. You captured so much character and beauty of the Cotswold's with your visit. Well done Chris.BV

Lovely images. I am planning to start a Cotswold gallery but I doubt that it will be as good as this! John.
