Tuesday the 17th of September
It's been a wet and windy week up to now, the river Cree's higher than it's been for months. No fishermen out today.
A break in the rain gave me a chance to go see the ducklings over on Blairmount Pond
They weren't by the pond dipping platform, but the water was still and very reflective.
I thought of kneeling down and trying to get a water boatman close up but decided to leave that for another day
Moving round to the main pond and with a slice of Warburton's wholemeal I enticed these hungry guys to the water's edge.
It's great to see all seven still here
The mallards were greedy but they all got to eat. I know that quite a few neighbours are feeding them anyway
Still plenty of ripe and unripe brambles about
It's a bit dull, but I'm still trying out aperture priority settings
It must be Autumn judging by the ripening Honeysuckle berries
