Wow! a Grebe that stayed above water long enough to have a photo taken. This parent was hunting for fish and feeding a youngster out on the lake.
The Black Swans had 4 cygnets last week, they now have 3. Hopefully, these are now big enough to survive to adulthood.
In the background, the Mallards are producing lots of ducklings. These hardy birds are found everywhere.
In the evening, I put the usual bowl of food out for our local Fox. She is raising cubs, but we have not seen them yet. One of the Magpies was perched in a nearby tree to watch the fox carefully. As soon as she took a mouth full of food out to the cubs, the magpie swooped down and partook of the free fare whilst the fox was away. Any opportunity to feed their young.
