OUR WORLD, Wild Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - Breeding Time


Tax time, one of the revolting realities of life that stress me out 
two personal returns as well as quarterly and annual farm tax!

I like to go a little early to see our accountant just so I can have
half an hour in the little Japanese garden on the way.


Click to enlarge, you'll see the snowflakes flowering on the rocks

I was surprise to already see ducklings, this young pair of 
wood ducks had been busy.
The wood ducks are nesting on the farm as well, a good month 
before their usual time.

Can you see the bonus goldfish?

"Aren't we sweet?"


Dad seems to be in a bit of a flap but the family 
remain unconcerned


as I watched, it became apparent that their colouring 
was a little different - makes me think it's a pigeon pair.


 the dog and I enjoyed a little Zen moment before 
launching into the tax again.
