Mallard

While Mrs GOG and Victoria went to the orthodontist, I had a walk round the shops in Bishop’s Stortford, buying a few bits and pieces; then I met them in Sainsbury’s café before coming home.

I may have overdone it yesterday as I have not felt like doing much this afternoon, hence this picture of a female Mallard taken through the kitchen window. It is interesting that this duck had left the pond and walked all the way up to the top of the garden to drink from one of the bowls left out around the garden for animals and birds; these are regularly filled with tap water.
