Mandarin Duck [Aix galericulata]

Today it was told to us, that we were going to have a lot of rain, ha ha, it was sunshine, plenty too. So, I went off expecting to get rained, I didn't mind, 'cause I was in my car. Now, I just started my sandwich, when, as suspected, two Manadarin Ducks, I knew it would be easy.

Get the water, it was that colour, honestly.......

Holly Blue butterfly [Celastrina argiolus]

Greylag Goose eating [the cud] Anser anser

Greylag geese are easily seen in lowland areas of the UK all year, sometimes even in suburban parks with lakes but especially on low-lying grassy fields in river valleys. Wild ones, however, are found mostly north of the Solway and can be seen at RSPB nature reserves such as Mersehead (Dumfries & Galloway), Vane Farm (Fife) and Loch of Strathbeg (Grampian) from September to April. Wild breeding greylags can be found at Forsinard (Caithnes & Sutherland)
