Watford Town and Back Garden - 2.4.11

A brief shopping trip into Watford thismorning saw 6 Mallard chicks some how surviving on the filthy water of the pond then back at home while getting in the washing it looks like a pair of Greenfinches are nesting in the hedge that I was supposed to trim this weekend! Oh well another job that will have to wait! The Great Tits have chosen to nest in the box at the end of the garden for the 2nd year running. Then around 6.15pm I recieved a call from Joan Thompson to say that a female Wheatear was on the rugby pitch at Fullerians next door to the park. Typical!!
