I think it must be a year since my last hoopoe pic, this one’s an early arriver, sheltering from a rainy squall in my veranda.

 

edit: just checked it was April the 11th, wonder if it’s the same bird?

 

Where do they arrive from Mick?

Ducks all paired for a few weeks here . Expecting ducklings any time .

The Canadians are nesting, well one pair are. Whooper swans are thinking about it and most of the mallards are out nesting somewhere around the estate. Will put up some photos when things get going. The drakes are all grouped together waiting with bated breath......
