Climbing over rocky mountains .....

.... apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan and 'The Pirates of Penzance'

Not too many ducklings around now but I did spot this female mallard and her two youngsters paddling round the pond. Fortunately I had just finished my icecream and had two hands free to take a photo or two.

Off to Fife tomorrow for a few days .... the reason for the trip is to visit The May Isle and watch the puffins and other sea birds. My birthday present from sis so just hoping for a fine day.
