Female Mallard.......

............and a rather nice one too - down on the beck this morning.

I noticed there were far fewer ducks than usual and am wondering if, as sometimes before, some have been removed and taken to a different location. I would just like to be sure that they have been re-located and not dispatched to the duck pond in the sky!

Anni and Himself are safely ensconced in their Hotel - no report yet as to whether it fulfils all the promises in the brochure - there will be gentle words of dissatisfaction if it doesn't!!!!!

Yet another pleasant morning - not quite as warm though - just 60 Deg F. - some blue sky and lots of light clouds - dry!

Hope your week is going well.
