Duck Mallard protecting her young brood.
The father?
Wet day, so the Moorhens were out.
So were the snails and slugs.
Plenty of hirundines around......
A Jay flies into the poplar plantation and pokes its nose out.
Good views of a Spotted Flycatcher- first of the year for me..............
and more distant ones of a Yellowhammer.
This Robin was much closer!
