Mrs Pochard and family

Another day where I seem to be playing catch up!  Went to see mum, washing, ironing, gardening and a walk at teatime over the brickfields ponds.  Also went out for dinner with A and D and a friend which was lovely.  Apologies for all the bits floating in the water but I hadn't seen her with the ducklings before and she was just bringing them out from the reeds.  They are also a far distance away from me. Excuses over!! Lots of youngsters out  on the ponds today, 3 cygnets, 2 coots and these pochards.  Also disturbed a nest of baby spiders!  Extra shots
