Liz tries on a new shape of glasses   John, Freya and Alice
     
 
Pelicans   Silly bird obviously can't read!
     
 
Freya and John - we took a little trip around in a very quiet electric boat!   Sealy-sided mergansers.
Not many people know that!
     
Birds
     
 
Freya and Alice - but what are they standing in?   Well Caught! Pelican feeding time!
     
 
And don't forget sparrows - they're getting rare now!   An egret found at The Pond
     
Very strange - the left hand horse chestnut is in a tub and came into leaf this month; the other one is in a tub in the ground and lost its leaves at the same time! The left hand one lost its leaves later in the winter.
     
 
The stove is almost ready to light!
     
 
John looks at the wide beaches - we had a very dry summer   A good catch - and egret and a heron
 
 
Liz is so good at spotting and photographic fungi   Barney and Wilma have a new companion
     
Obviously not talking to each other!
     
 
A heron in flight   We haven't given this duck a name yet!
     
 
Patrice continues to feed the birds twice a day   At last - the stove is alite!
     
Impressive clouds across the heath and pond - partly thanks to PhotoShop!
     
 
 
Liz in Saffron Walden market   She's still at it!
     
 
Suki gives the stove her approval!   Wonder-leaves around The Pond
 
Would anyone like a large Parker-Knoll display cabinet - free to collect!
