Fighting

There was torrential rain overnight and again this morning, then it brightened up a little with some sunshine but by mid-afternoon it was getting quite dark and thundery with more rain and then large hail stones. My extra picture shows the outside doormat with Florence’s footprints in the hail; she was out during the hailstorm, sheltering somewhere.

Today’s main picture is of two male Mallards, fighting over a female on our pond.
