3 Years Ago


Three years ago, I was photographing the village duck-pond.

A leucistic female mallard had hatched out in April 2016, looking very cute and yellow. The village called her "Custard" and I took a lot of photos of her, the best of which I shall dig out and process and post here later (at the time I was sharing them on google+).

By January 2017, I would have been at a loose end had it not been for this unusual arrival: a male pintail. He was able to fly, but he stayed for a few weeks. Villagers feeding the adorable Custard would feed him, and it was Winter, so why not?
