MORE BUTTERFLIES AND DUCKLINGS

Went out walking round Stratton Woods and Stanton Park this afternoon. At Stratton Woods, butterflies around included brimstones, orange tip, small tortoiseshell, peacock and comma. 
At Stanton park there were two broods of ducklings. One was a mallard, the other a mallard hybrid.

p.s if you thought taking one dog for a walk was enough, try taking seven!
