It was lovely walking along by the river this morning.
The water was low and the swans were taking advantage of the long strip of boat ramp that was dry, to snooze or preen themselves.
Mr Heron was also there...the first I have seen of him this year, I think! He was doing a very good impersonation of the Headless Horseman, hiding his head underneath one wing. Not sure if he was snoozing too or if he had a wee itch under there!
And I very nearly missed the ducks!
There were five or six of them cuddled down in amongst the mud-coloured stones that are covered up when the tide is in. I'd say it was lovely and warm down there with the sun warming the stones. The ducks certainly seemed to be comfy and cosy...and very well camouflaged. Like I say...I nearly missed them!
I'm grateful that I didn't.
Gratefully yours.
