Bank Holiday weekend, 29th. 5. 23.

 This Bank holiday weekend, I stayed in on the Saturday as the parks would be full of workers having their well earned break, and for a change it wasn't raining!.

Sunday went early to McDonalds and then over to the ressers to see how the great Crested Grebes were getting on and there they were with the babies riding on mum's back!.

Dad helping with the feeding.

Mum flapped her wings and the three babies all fell off.

So the babies all shot over to dad and climbed on to his back.

As soon as mum had stretched her wings and had a dive for some food, the kids were back to her. 

What's for dinner dad?.

There was this Cormorant there too, but it didn't stay long.

The goslings are all doing well and into a Creche with all the adults looking out for them.

Whilst having my McDonalds, noticed that tree sparrow had a nest under the flashing on the sailing club roof, I'd noticed it last year as well, so must be a regular nest for them.

Back home my Clematis are coming into bloom.

This is the first bloom called "Josephine" and in it's fifth year, certainly had my monies worth with this one.

This one "TAIGA" the flowers aren't as big, but still a nice colour.

My Goldfinches are feeding well, but no sign of any babies yet, though there are plenty of house sparrow and starling babies around.  

So that's the month of May done with, hopefully June will be as nice!.
