the further adventures of Genghis Pudleduck

 

Fans of Genghis will be delighted to know that he has been visiting as the flood waters go down. You can just see his partner, eating the weed by the bank.

Sensibly, when a swan tells him to get out of the way, he does,

 

but just waits on the bank until he can get into the water again

Swans

This picture shows some of the swans, including the near-adult cygnets who have settled here as the worst of the floods go down. We haven't seen much of them this year as they nested further away, but this area seems more comfortable for them at the moment.
The geese & ducks were here earlier, including Genghis, but I didn't manage to get a picture then.

Christmas begins this afternoon in Denford at our lovely pub: lights, tree, mince pies & hot pork rolls!
