It looks like Spring is finally with us. It was a really warm afternoon today following heavy rain in the morning with just a gentle breeze, perfect. The usual competition for bate anglers leave on the banks for the birds when packing up sparked some action between the Swans & Canada Geese. Of course the Swans won but we will see how this develops as last year I did actually see Canada Geese turn the tables when another pair of Swans came to take over the lake. Mallard ducks also had some tussles. We saw 5 Red Crested Pochard Ducks paired up, so that’s encouraging and under a lovely clear sky a Blue Tit tucked in to catkins on the goat willow tree .
