Before I went in holiday the Coalport Pond had fledged 11 Mallard ducklings and New Hall 15 in broods of 7, 6 and 2. There have been 6 Canada geese and various coots and moorhen chicks. The split pond has had nothing due to it being small and heavily fished
The Friday before I went away there were 2 more ducklings at New Hall and 4 on the common.
Upon return the ducklings were still at New Hall and growing
I had a long look at the common and nothing so imagine my surprise when on Friday I walked up and the first thing I found was ..
They are teenagers and should be ok but I expect this pond to get fished a bit over the school holidays. If I sound anti fishing it's just that these are the type who are young and leave there litter etc etc.
I have started seeing quite a few Jersey Tiger Moths!
Todays highlight a Kingfisher 100 yards from my house!

Great to see the new ducklings and the teenagers. Good news about the Jersey Tiger Moths - I am jealous. I have only ever seen one years ago in Dorset! Wonderful to hear about a kingfisher so close to your house.
