<div style="text-align: center;">
So much has happened I had to find time let you all know about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Tuesday the first of our Swallows arrived from Africa always a good sign - photo's to follow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Wednesday I walked down to the pond with the feed for the ducks and a female Moorhen popped off the island followed by five little black bobbits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Both parents are very attentive and keep the little ones in the shadows so they are safe from predators.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then to top it all today Chantelle the female Mallard's eggs hatched. First I saw one on his own and chirping, he had come to far and get stuck, he was at the opposite end of the pond from mums nest. Then I noticed three more in the centre of the pond so got the boat in the water and put the singleton back with it's siblings. Whilst on the water mum popped out from her secure nest site with more babies, then more appeared, then even more until eighteen frenzied little stripy balls of fluff were following mum around on the water.</div>

I popped him into a box with some of the straw and am happy to say that shortly after this photo session he burrowed into the straw curled into a ball and went back to sleep.

Here you can clearly see the feathery legs on the bottom bee who is trying to get out, while the ones returning have very orange legs covered with pollen some arrive with so much they cannot get back in the hole.</div>

Lastly here is a Damselfly tucking into another insect - sorry not a perfect shot but I was being bitten all over by other winged creatures feasting on me and only had on shorts and T-shirt so was giving them lots to go at, but as they say one must suffer for one's art.</div>

Here is a short précis of what we saw on our walk down the lane today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing we came across were our Swallow pair's new fledglings form their second clutch, these have obviously chosen to go to the hedge along our agricultural rail line to sit and wait to be fed rather than use the telephone lines in the courtyard.</div>

I have watched the feeding for hours but it is done so swiftly that you can't really see what is going on, so I was amazed to see in this shot that the young one almost looks as though it is swallowing the parent - it's head goes so far into the fledgling's mouth to deposit its collection of insects.</div>

Then just as we were almost home I spotted the ears and horns of this Roe Buck. I waited until it came onto the track and this shot was taken just as he got his bearings, immediately he saw us he ran across the lane and into the maize crop opposite to disappear like a ghost.</div>

Here is a member of the Cicada family - we have looked for the creature that was in the trees around the garden making a noise that I can only describe as an electrical short circuit. We called it the electrical bird thinking it was a bird until yesterday when I found it was caused by this little one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is about the size of my thumb and is extremely loud. Now I know what it is it makes sense as it sounds like one of the common cicada on speed.............. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After leaving the tree where it came into the world on, it can spend up to seventeen years underground sucking the sap via the trees roots before coming back out, shedding its exoskeleton and turning into this not-so-little adult beastie. </div>
