Bowood 2014 #16

I began this visit at Tractor Ted's to see if they had found anything to replace the Shetland ponies yet. The three pigs each had double the mass that they'd had a week earlier. The pony enclosure was still empty, save for one grumpy rabbit having a break from his hutch. I had a good chat with the keeper, though, and learned some more about the farm that provides the animals for them.

There were three or four great crested grebes on the lake and large groups of Canada geese, two of which had creches of goslings in their charge, and one of the geese wasn't quite a Canada goose and not quite a Barnacle goose from its plumage, but as I didn't have a long lens with me on this occasion I couldn't get a usable picture of it.

I went up to the House to make some enquiries, but they couldn't tell me anything. I did get a few shots of the garden in front of the House however. It was looking quite splendid at that moment with the alliums in full force.
