Christine's walking & birds blog

Greger was incredulous when he read in my last post that I "turned for home with a heavy heart". According to him I was singing Captain Sensible's Happy Talk all the way along Moss Road! Well, there you are then; I can't have been that disappointed at not seeing a grasshopper warbler :o(

Today, the pintail was on the pond near the golf-course, in the company of three drake mallards.

 
This offered a good opportunity for a piccie - but I expect a bit more wildness in my ducks than this!
