For a change, it was a nice sunny day down the vale, pity it wasn't like that for my visitors from Oz to see it at it's best!.
The three cygnets are all doing well!.
In the middle of the lower mill pond there were four cormorants on the day.
A close up of three of them, with this first one a youngster.
There was another one lower down the pond, that had been fishing, so sat there drying out.
A male and female tufted duck.
There are a few herons about on the top mill pond.
A juvenile heron on the lower mill pond.
Juvenile Little Grebe on lower mill pond. 
Plenty of activity it the top of the Top Mill pond, especially when I put out seed and monkey nuts.
One Monkey nut!.
He's doing better than that with three!.
Crow says "You stand on them to break into them".
This little fellow can only manage one nut, not that it hadn't tried for more.
The weather was so nice I decided to go over to Sunnyside pond and sat there soaking up some rays with a few friends chatting and spotted this great Tit.
A Nuthatch.
Another heron there too fishing, how it sees any food though all that duck weed I'm not sure, unless its getting midges feeding on the duck weed!.
So it was a good day, though my sister was flying out from London to Singapore for a few days stop over on the way home.
I stopped over at Morrison's for Mini fish & chips on the way home.
