Three different types of geese came to eat our corn duck food, the Canada goose, many greylag geese and right near the water line there are a couple of Egyptian geese.
My daughter stopped to feed this new mother duck, who seemed very hungry. She had four very young ducklings waiting nearby for her.
A little further along we found the spot on the broad where we often see a pike and luck was on our side today as we could clearly see it in the water.
We think it must have been at least two feet long, I forgot to take the camera filter to allow us to photograph under water through the glare but I think you can see it ok.
My husband even managed a close up of it's head so you can see it's eye and big teeth. We watched for quite a while it really was a huge fish.
This is an emperor dragonfly, it was found beside the road, I think it had been hit by a car but we picked it up and moved it to a safe place in case there was a chance it would recover. This is the largest dragonfly I have ever seen.
The last two photographs are of two different types of leaf gall, we found them all over the same tree.
