Down at the Lake
Today I went down to the lake to practice field sketching(Very, very disappointed). Tried out my new binos, they are great, lovely to see the birds better!As we arrive a couple were getting out their Rainbow Lorries, both had clipped wing so they could not fly away.
There were a lot of Welcome Swallows around. They seamed to take turns fling and come back and sit with the juvenile on the shore. There was also two Goldfinches that would land too drink at a large puddle of water.
One of the Mallard ducks had a very sad looking foot. It appeared to be broken at the knee and ankle. She was surviving, but walk very funny and being teased by the other ducks.
(Mandy is well :-) )
