Ducks are dablbing..

After the Lapwing visited the damp patch in the middle of the field a couple of weeks ago, I was surprised to see a pair of Mallard 'dabbling' amongst the rushes first thing and still at it as I write. Looking forward to some more pleasant surprises.

The robins, which, by their general demeanour and appearance, appear to be the same pair that enjoyed the mealworms last year have paired up and I have come across the female exploring my freshly sorted workshop after nesting there last year. I knew there was a nest in there but never found it until the 'clear up'. It was on the top of some shelves in a carrier bag partially filled with 'useful' oddments of string and rope.
