FEMALE MALLARD AT CANNOP POND



This photo was taken 2 weeks ago at Cannop top pond, i hope i am correct in saying its a female Mallard
 My wife has told me that the 2 new bird box's that i built and put up in our garden, have both been visited by Blue tits . Fingers crossed,they will soon be nesting in them. I cant wait,watching them last year going in and out was a joy to watch.....simple pleasures are the best.

WORGREEN LAKE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON.


I can remember when this place was an "Open Cast" site, just acre's of mud and small coal dust.
That must have been 30years ago..But a lot of good has come out of it,and now it's a great place for wildlife.
Sorry that it's not a larger photo,i need a longer lens. I think the birds are grey herons? They seemed  to be doing a display of sorts.
