| It was another lovely day and I spent a good hour sitting by the pond being entertained by nature. First up where the geese. The goslings are now quite big and full of energy. I noticed something I hadn't seen before. As they were paddling across the pond first one then all of them would duck beneath the water and swim under the water for a couple of meters before surfacing. I wondered whether they were exercising their wings ready for flying. I didn't have my camera so I wasn't able to record this behaviour but I will watch out for it again. | |
| Its now Saturday 19th. It's a warm and sunny day and I was standing next to the pond when the big carp surfaced and patrolled the edge of the water lily's | Every so often I would hear a plop and see ripples moving out from where a fish had broken the surface. I decided to feed the fish some bread. I wasn't disappointed within about 30 seconds the pieces of bread I had tossed in the pond were surrounded by small fish - probably roach and rudd. Even big pieces of bread didn't last long. I was hoping to spot one of the large carp. I walked to the other side of the pond and saw a dark shape - like a submarine in the water. It was one of the carp but I didn't manage to catch him on camera. I will try again. |
