Duck and ducklings at Ellesmere

SC153 - Post 29 June - Local Wildlife

This must be a second clutch, as many of the ducklings hatched this year are almost fully grown.

The first Pip is taken by the same lake as the ducklings. A wide assortment of birds collect when visitors feed them on special bird food.

The second Pip is of 2 mating green veined whites, I think, taken on Saturday afternoon in our garden. I noticed what I thought was a clumsy butterfly flitting around, and when 'it' settled, this was the result.

Always good to see the youngsters out and about and also to see the Geese socialising too!

The butterfly shot is my favourite............the detail is spot on, especially when viewed large. Particularly impressive for a phone shot..!!

Great work Amelia..!!
