We took a look at the chooks. Leonardslee have a variety, though they do sometimes look a little scruffy so it is hard to tell what's what.
They do have a nice large field to roam in, but still seem to peck and poke one another.
As I had little chance of telling them apart, this board may offer a better chance for you to tell which varieties they house here.
Our next day out was to Warnham Reserve, and here too we have become members for the entire year. Our plan is to visit these places every 6 or so weeks, to get a variety of sights - birds, flowers, trees, and all things nature - and our moneys worth.
You can see tern and coot in this picture, taken at the first lake lookout gate in the wildflower meadow.
A little further along, we spotted 7 herons - assumedly a family - a few ducks, and a splashy thing we assume to be 3-4 large fish - possibly carp. My next shot was supposedly a heron in a tree - but came out as trees....so we will skip that one, but stay with herons...
& another shot of the family - the big splash like lump in the foreground was that fish family.
I love those wide shots of the pond at Warnham. What's that object out there on the water? Some kind of feeder?
