I thought it fun to compare the pond at Springtime, summer in a drought and this winter when the pond is the fullest it has ever been. |
Pond in a drought ridden summer, not this past year though and now after all the wet weather. |

Spring time 2012 when the pond is full after last winter |
November 2012 the pond is the fullest it has ever been, it is nearly to the summerhouse. |
Summertime brings a million shades of green and we decorate the patio with tubs of flowers. |
Autumn brings blustry showers and leaves everywhere! |
Winter snow covers the patio! |
Our cheeky squirrel now sneaks onto the patio to steal the bird seed! |
Our resident racing pigeon and can you see the pheasant eating by the wall? She is well camouflaged. |
Now that winters coming the pheasants are coming back to the orchard to feed. This is a young male and female, they could easily be from the brood that hatched here last spring. |
I am not the only one who finds pheasants fascinating! |
hiding in the grass or so he thinks! |
Having tea eating my plants |
I spy a pigeon! |
How much?!! I only want a roost for the night! |
I wonder if my mum has a towel, I'm soaked! later yesterday I found him sat under our car and he was nice and dry! |
I am watching you! |
