Christmas Island Feast

With a weather turnaround the sun shining and a crisp dry frost, we could hardly get a nicer Christmas day.

The Swans island and moat had a little ice, but not enough to freeze over completely.

 The birds were waiting for their Christmas day Feast , which I was glad to deliver. Wheat grain, grower pellets, carrots, mixed bird seed and wholemeal bread!

 They got stuck in, cackled and quacked with enthusiasm. 

It's a positive joy to see these lovely creatures contented in their environment, we are privileged to have them here. (Short clip below.) Merry Christmas !
