Pathways and Gunton Hall

After a year of struggling with my feet it seems that I am on the mend. This is new for me as I usually go crook when it comes to this time of the year. So best to make good use of it. Big front coming in a good time to be in Cornwall. Chance would be a good thing.

Pathways:  After the visit of the otter who cleared the place out I have been surprised that there are now three LITTLE GREBE chicks swimming about. Already as large as the parents so lets hope they make it. As for the MALLARD they have had another brood and there are still five remaining. A single TUFTED DUCK still on show but cleaning itself as it is in moult.

Gunton Hall:  MALLARD and young came out at 26 today, I expect most of these are new birds. I did have a glimpse although very short of the local KINGFISHER. But the best was the female EMPEROR DRAGONFLY which was surfacing dipping its eggs. Two males fighting over territory.
