Silent Sunday: A Real Treat

This wood pigeon had been blown from its nest during a gale and was rescued and hand-reared by a local man until he was ready to be released back into the wild.

Seven years on, the wood pigeon still greets the man on his daily walk and stops for a chat and a treat.

Wishing you all a blessed Sunday and a peaceful week ahead,

with love from Xenia xxx

The female mallard in the top photograph had lost most of her brood to the crows within a week of hatching and only one duckling survived. She adopted another duckling who had lost all her siblings as well as her mother. The two ducklings are roughly the same age and have become the best of friends.
