    Climate change?

    I'm nearly sure it was September last year before the blackbirds started eating the berries from this tree!

    Also from today... I know from observation that two 'hybrid' ducks have managed to protect their five chicks( not all in the pic) and see them grow to near maturity - it's now hard to tell them apart.

    I thinks that's Mammy there fourth from left?

    Do I remember from a thread here a while ago that some hybrids like these are called 'Manky Mallards' ?

    This bird is one of our annual summer house guests. The nest is at the eaves of the house and shows the bird just after feeding the young and leaving the nest diving downwards.

    Thanks Keps, I actually took the picture in the afternoon, shortly before you texted me!

    Looking forward to seeing your shot of the heron!

    In another forum I was suggested not to cut the heron. I did in an attempt to give the trout a bit more real estate in the photo. Below is an uncropped version. Thoughts?

    Mute Swans and family

    First came across this family of mute swans and their five cygnets in mid June.
    When I saw them again a couple of days later only two cygnets had survived.
    Another few days only one cygnet was left.
    Glad to see when I met them again last week the surviving cygnet is still there and growing bigger.

    I think the lilac is a different plant (syringa (sp.?) something or other).

    IMO, lilac is a separate bush. Maybe buddleia is known as lilac bush where you live, but where I live lilac is something else - similar in colour, granted - but it stops there.

    Edit: The previous poster got before me!

    There are several varieties regarding colour, ranging from white through pinkish, mauve, purple and a very deep puple, almost black, that I love.
    They're all varieties of the same bush.
