It is lovely to see the young swan pair back on the river with a new nest.

Wordless Wednesday: White River Mallards
Tina, at Lens-Artists, invites us to post some images we did not get a chance to share earlier in the year.
These white mallard ducks may be offspring from escaped domestic ducks or hybrids. They have made themselves at home on the river and seem very friendly.
We wish our friends in the Northern Hemisphere a Happy Winter Solstice, and our friends in the Southern Hemisphere a Happy Summer Solstice.
We wish all of you who celebrate Christmas and Happy Christmas too.
We will return on Wednesday 28 December with a special post where we look back at 2022 and all the treasures it brought us.
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday and peaceful rest of the week,

The above haiku is a variation on Trust, as the frog’s movements reminded me of a moment when Eivor and Pearl were meeting and parting with their shadows on a forest trail two years ago.

The cygnets are nine months old now and the extreme weather is likely to keep them on the river a little longer. Their parents are still happy to have them here and so are we.
