Very high winds today. A lot of trees have been blown over in Figgate Park, it looks a mess (though hopefully the council will leave some of the dead wood when they tidy things up, as dead wood is good habitat for all kinds of creatures!) Lots of birds on the pond though including the two handsome ducks shown above!

so neat. we get both of these ducks here, too, during their winter migratory stops.
I am glad they leave some of the dead wood. Love the ducks, I see both of these here in the winter also. The Shoveler is handsome. Great shots and happy weekend to you!
I love seeing them swim on the water,xx Rachel
Ducks on a pond is one of my favorite scenes :)
