Love this time of year at the local ponds. All the cute ducklings come out, before the hoardes of Canadian geese develop :D

We have greylag geese

That small grey lump in the middle of the pic is a heron, looked a bit grumpy today

We get grebes and cormorants too but didn't see any today. Nor the resident kingfisher but he's harder to spot.
 
Where's that A380 ? (You should always caption your posts for me because, Beds - or is this Beds?)
Sorry, Yes this is Odell Country Park about an hour ago. All my pics from the last two weeks have been in Bedfordshire. Even the ones with the hills...

ETA not quite true, two a couple of days ago were from Grafham Water which is just over the border in Huntingdonshire... But here's a bonus ancient spring from under the church at Pavenham:07509130-A277-4E1F-9AFD-6F7F50899E7D.jpeg

Odell what?

My first proper gf (virginity and all that) was the daughter of the farm manager (the bloke who farmed the Lord of the Manor's farm) in Odell. 1980. There was no country park.

Like everything else here it was a gravel or sand pit. Turned into a park in the 80's (Which happens to about 1/3 of the many holes in the ground we have here to make the bricks and mortar they used to build London; the other 2/3, of course, being filled with London's rubbish...

"I remember when all this was light industrial units and mineral extraction. Now its all gone, replaced by fields and lakes..."
