"Clear Off, this is our Patch...!!"

This coot seemed to be getting a good talking-to by the swan at Killingworth lake on our walk this morning. (The gulls didn't seem to bother them.)

I'm a bit late again in uploading my blip - I spent this afternoon (successfully) helping Son#3 to put up a new chandelier in the living room of his new house (see the extra). It was a bit fiddly when it came to taking the bubble-wrap packing off all the glass droplets...one became dislodged and hit the floor but luckily for me it wasn't me doing it (fortunately they supplied 2 spares!). (Note: The holes in the ceiling were from the old chandelier - they'll get filled in due course.)
