Happy New Year – 2014

We saw a little of the local wildlife on the walk this morning, first were the ‘crazy’ ducks. We say crazy as they just seem to be swimming, somewhat aimlessly, in circles. They look like Northern Shovelers, and they apparently are creating a sort of whirlpool that brings food nearer to the surface – so not so crazy.

A little further along we spotted what looked like Robins or American Red Breasts, not a very clear picture of them watching us watching them.

On our way back to the house we saw the ‘fisherman’ – a Grey Heron, just managed to catch him as he took off for a better fishing spot.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed our walk today – Happy New Year to everyone.
