Hard to tell from the picture but this bird was gigantic. It walked up the road to the car park, then over to the water and swam away (see below).

Waverley Abbey
When we got to the Abbey a guard informed us we couldn’t enter. Instead we walked up to the car park and along the river on the side we’d never been able to get to on previous visits, across a barricaded bridge to Waverley House. So we got some different views before decided we might be straying into trespassing.
The Tree
I think I probably posted a picture of this tree last time I visited Waverley Abbey but it really does stand out from its surroundings. This time we brought our US visitors on our hike to the ruined abbey and I took a bunch more shots – I hope not too similar to those I posted last time.
