The early bird catches the fish....

Most mornings on the pond we have a rather large visitor  -- a Heron, today he must have had a 'lay-in' as he showed up at about 10am.  He is very camera shy and spooks at the slightest movement of people.  We are not fond of him as he expects us to vacate our comfortable places just so he can walk into the water!

We are getting well out of his way!
A blowy day here in the gardens, but pretty mild, so we will have plenty of fun on the water today.

Oh, what a giggle!

Talulah came to visit us this weekend -- and we all got just a bit excited as she fed us and we pushed forward until she fell backwards over the small wall into the flower bed!! This little girl was not one to cry and shout -- no, she got up and dusted herself off and carried on feeding us, and giggling -- we like her and her mum and sister -- they all giggled!




We have had lots of young couples visiting the gardens and the restaurant over the last week or two -- all planning their weddings, I heard the lady showing them round telling them that we ducks are always guests at the wedding - 'invited or not' -- not sure how to take this!

Anyway may be a few more coming up as Valentines day is nearly upon us - there is a lovely evening planned in the restaurant with music from Blues2Jazz and a lovely menu (no duck!).  also don't forget ladies -- it is a leap year!
