The first thing I saw when I went to feed the birds was a huge yellow fungus on the Wayfarer Oak. Which led me to examine the tree with great care!
A great tit was protecting his apples.

A duck was standing on top of the duck trap but decided to leave when I arrived.

I also startled two herons.

I realised that long-tailed tits are even more adorable when they are young.


I spotted swans being very pally with greylag geese and Canada geese with babies.

A crow was definitely eating something at the shoreline. Check out the before and after. In the after he has a full food pouch!
I saw a pond full of diving beetles. You have to wait for him to dive. I should have edited this.
And I had a meditation in a meadow.







What a great visit to the Reserve! Super duper video of the beetle! I will now watch for size of food pouch in crows. All sounds peaceful with the folks getting along with each other 😀
