So before I went away I was relaxed that all 11 of the ducklings at Coalport were effectively grown up and fine and that the 7 at New Hall were as well.
There had been 2 new broods at Newhall a 2 and a newer one of 6. I hadn't seen the 2 for a few days before going away but on my first walk....
The 2 were about!
As were the 6!!
The coots were doing well!
And the Goslings were all grown up :)
Finally a few butterflies!

As those in the UK will know it got hot! well by our standards. So I got walking early and stopped for breakfast for a couple of days.
Thanks RR for the Cinnabar Moth id for the caterpillar.
ooh a Painted Lady
The foals are all well :)
The local ducklings all grown up. There are also 5 Moorhen chicks that are now teenagers.
The two and mum.

Lovely to see the ducklings and goslings doing so well and the foals. And isn't it wonderful to start seeing so many butterflies at last. Our buddleia at home is covered with them and bees :) Always happy to help with id if I can :) More hot weather on the way :(
