Saying hello

For those of you who have been following the progress of Sooty and Sweep, they are doing great. Since we released them about 10 days ago they have spent most of their time down in and around the bottom pond. However, today they came up to be by the nursery enclosure and appeared to have a good chat with their younger duck and chicken friends.

This photo doesn’t do the colours in Sooty’s wing plumage justice. There are purple and emerald green colours in his feathers.
