Wildlife.

One of the joys of this journey is watching the many creatures which call the canal their home. Many we can't capture on camera---tiddlers, fish leaping out of the water, small birds and butterflies, but here is a small selection from today's walk.

An armada of Canada geese is heading our way!

What do you call baby coots?  Cootlings?  Cootlets?

Lots of these around today.

We waited for ages to see if Mr. Heron would catch a fish.

He didn't!!

This graceful swan appeared while we stopped for a snack. It just added to the peaceful surroundings.
