Goosander and ripples

Blip tells me it's my 9th blipday (though I think it's early as I posted my 1st blip on 10th March) so I thought I'd see what I could find to blip.
It was mainly sunny today so after church and lunch I had a wander down to the ponds to see what was there, no shrews but a variety of birds and several flower varieties.
In celebration of the 9 years I've made a 9 photo collage (and posted it in extras) with sun on water in the pond, burn and over the broken weir, the main pond, the valley, an interesting log and wild plum blossom - all in about 500m.
Mr Rat cooked a tasty tea of bream with lemon, garlic, tomatoes and potatoes as an early birthday meal (can't do it on the actual day).
