Obviously I was sensible chap after I broke my toe and didn't walk that much so before my holiday I had no idea how the ducklings were doing. I did get to the Coalport Pond and I saw a white duck! It was mallard sized. Upon my return it was gone but it has now taken up residence at New Hall. I wonder where it came from?
The duckling at New Hall has survived and is now a juvenile (I saw it with Mum) and the 4 on the Common are now all grown up. So it has been a very good year for my ponds. I really ought to walk to Netteswell Pond and I ought to take my camera but if it rains that'll stay at home!
There were lots of Juvenile Goldfinches today. They always confuse me at first without the distinctive head pattern :)
Oh and yes another holiday is coming and it is to somewhere I haven't been for a while. I need to plan it!
