Full Complement


Walking past my favourite little pond the other lunchtime and noticed a full complement of aquatic birds! All of the hatchlings of the last nine months were present and correct, three young Mallards and three  Moorhens. I was surprised, you'd normally expect one of two of them not to make it but apparently this tiny patch of water next to a busy road junction makes a pretty decent place to raise young.
