It rained a lot on Sunday! This meant there were very few visitors on the reserve, and these brave souls were extremely wet looking.
I passed a soggy looking Heron standing huddled in the rain by the pond, his posture and demeanour seemed to indicate how we felt about the morning’s constant rain.
But the ducks didn’t seem to mind. I saw some adorable tiny coot chicks, with downy red fluff on their heads contently splashing about amidst the rain.
The Mallards, Moorhens, Great crested grebes, and Swans were all out in force and seemingly quite happy in the rain.
