Today at the Vale it was overcast, so there weren't many people about, I was lucky enough to watch the young Great Crested Grebe trying to get some food for itself but hadn't seemed to have got the idea of diving yet and could only dip its head underwater where it could no doubt see the fish but not get at them!.
Getting quite big now, but not straying far from mother after losing four siblings.
After Mum, watching the pathetic performance of her youngest she decided to show him how to do it.
Got a big one here for your dinner.
Get this down your neck
You've dropped it Mum, don't worry they float when dead, but eat it head first so the spines on its back don't get stuck in your throat.
Its too big to swallow that Mum.
Well if your not going to eat it, I am, waste not want not!.
Junior still trying to get a smaller one.
Lovely grub!.
The young Mallards are getting bigger and eating themselves now.
So a good mornings walk and then off to Morrison's for Fish & Chips now the weather has got a bit cooler!.

Don't kick a man when he's down, unless you're absolutely certain he won't get up!.
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame!.
Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.
