Snacks Before Bedtime

Walking the dogs on the canal bank was a tad nippy late this afternoon. Back in the old jeans and boots for a time - gone were the shorts! 

I was searching in vain for the babies of this coot pair and not a tiny ball of fluff anywhere to be spied. Maybe/hopefully they were safe in the reeds by the overhang of the bank but not convinced they have survived the pike in the water.

The chicken infiltrators are looking better except for one - Mildred - a white one who is nearly always sitting down with her head hanging. I know it will take time for the injection to do it's work so am hoping for the best whilst popping in treats for them all to munch on along with seaweed in their water, wormers and fresh spring greens.

An afternoon shopping in Birmingham to get wedding outfit with only partial success but the assistants were running round like crazy getting bits together; it must have been a quiet day! Not the usual bun fight in the Bullring.
