Fenscape 30

Walked along the Great Ouse from the Lazy Otter this morning.  Mild; distant Fen horizons lost in the mist, trees and barns given an impressionistic wash, faint tractor lights like occasional lighthouse blinks.  Underfoot the grass wet and decorated with snails in endless striped colour variations, probably Helix nemoralis Linnaeus.  Edible?  Perhaps by song thrushes.  On the river, coot and moorhen, and great crested grebes, an adult and two incessantly calling juveniles.  Warm lights showing from narrowboat windows.
