Local wildlife catchup

Its been a quiet winter. Whereas last year we had a nice variety of ducks this year nothing other than the white duck. 

Bird wise Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps are back but so far I've not heard a reed warbler. I'm starting to wander past the reedbeds in hope

There are butterflies about but I've yet to see a Red admiral.

There are two foals. One seems quite big so I assume was born early and has just appeared. The other is a cutie!

We have ducklings at the Coalport pond. I'm not sure how many she had originally but there are 4 now and they've been there at least a week.

For Wessex Reiver

can you see me? 😂 

 Sorry I've not been anywhere and not taken a camera. We have a foal but he's quite old. I assume moved here from elsewhere.

I've also just discovered we have ducklings on the Coalport pond. They are tucked under mum. I've no idea how many and how long as I wasn't watching closely.

We've had a few butterflies intermittently. Hopefully given a warmer week I'll see more. I'll have to take the camera out.

I'll have to check the reedbeds I guess for Reed Warbler, I saw a Reed Bunting today.

Edit... The white duck has returned. He? flew in with a female.

Dubrovnik Day 5

Well I'm currently at the airport so I may as well catch up with photos.

I'm assuming the cross procession is due to Easter? There were lots of daffodils about.

It's been a quiet day. This morning we took a panoramic boat tour. 45 minutes for 15 euros. It was good.

When we got back there was local dancing
