I decided to head towards Daphne's pool, I didn't manage to get there, because I had some more surprises to photograph
First on to Vadar and Skipper, Exmoor ponies again brought in the keep the grass down, so all together we have six Exmoor Ponies woo hoo and here they are
Not sure which is Vadar or which one was Skipper, but hey beautiful looking horses and doing a sterling job too.
Next I saw Geese a male and female sitting just behind the fence of the horses area, which looks onto the canal and there it was, another little one, boy did the dad let me have it, for maybe, being a little too close, he spat for England, so here is another nest site along the canal
Get away from me and my kid, you have been warned lol
Had enough of my picture been taken, heading back to you mom
Well also I was told by another dog walker on the other side of the canal, some more Geese had some more babies three in total and there was also Moorhens with their chicks too, but the weather was closing in, so I didn't manage to go any further along, so I went back to the two bridges at the bottom of Netherton Hill and with happiness, I saw the first family of Geese I spotted on their nest site, woo hoo, all the little ones was sleeping while mom and dad was cleaning themselves and keeping a watch out, here they are
All five babies intact and had grown a lot since I last saw them about three or four days ago, I feared the worst at one point because I had not seen them, so I was over the moon when I walked onto that bridge.
So to recap, on Dudley's Canal number 2 with the area I walk, we have three geese nest sites with babies and 1 Moorhen nest site with their babies and a coots nest.
Across the Reservoir we have five Coots nests with eggs in, and 1 Grebe nest, at the moment no eggs, and about 30 swallows flying around, so that's me and you guys up to date.
I'll blog soon, weather permitting, me to get out with the camera
See ya for now
Lovely blog.
