This is not a toy!

It was a lovely sunny morning , so we went to Bryngarw House, which is about 4 miles away. We sat & watched the ducks for a while, but the pond was in the shade, so not very good for taking photos.I watched this particular  one for ages,and he/she was giving itself a very thorough preening session. must be a female then J is always complaining  that I take too long getting ready!  We had a walk around  the grounds, and the leaves were falling thick & fast. We were back home by lunchtime, and I have spent the afternoon, doing chores yawn
