Our resident cormorant
(are you fed up with cormorant pics yet?)



Forget-me-nots are beginning to bloom, a squirrel keeps an eye on me and a couple of bluetits are courting.



Cygnet on the canal, a robin with a worm and a pair of great crested grebes.



Grebes again and swan in a flap
Saint Patrick’s Day
As the “Apostle of Ireland”, he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, the other patron saints being Brigid of Kildare and Columba. He is also, notably, the patron saint of Nigeria. Patrick was never formally canonised by the Catholic Church, having lived before the current laws it established for such matters. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the Church of Ireland (part of the Anglican Communion), and in the Eastern Orthodox Church, where he is regarded as equal-to-the-apostles and Enlightener of Ireland.

Well, that’s a bit of a bugger! WordPress tells me that I’ve used all my image space. To increase it’ll cost $25 a month – can’t afford that – so I’m going to remove (copy to hard drive) some of the oldest pics.
More soon.

Cormorant; love the pic where he’s giving me the evil eye.
Here he is again

The pond
















That’s all for that day
