Quiet morning

Another visit on Saturday morning to Winterton proved to be rather quiet. It was rather gloomy to start with but the showers held off, however there was a moderate SW blowing. As last week all the migrants seemed to have moved off during the week again, work gets in the way of everything !

A quiet net ride !
