I was thrilled to hear the sounds of ducklings cheeping when we walked past the pond earlier this week. Despite the floods a while ago that killed the swans` eggs, the great-crested grebe pair have raised a young one, and the moorhens have raised three young.
Surprisingly, there are no other youngsters on the pond this year.
And no rat sightings at all, either :-)
The dog has eaten all the green apples from the tree, and is trying to strip the unripe plums form that tree too, so he is under strict supervision when he goes in the garden at present. Funnily enough, he doesn`t attempt to steal the raspberries which are ripening nicely at just his level, LOL.
Aforementioned dog goes to the vet on Thursday to be neutered. Considering it is a simple enough job, we will be £95 worse off. Goodness only knows what they charge to spay a bitch, which is in all fairness a much more complex procedure..........
