Looking down the hill from my lounge is a "Wetlands" area. What time of year are baby duckilings around?

Around about this time of year, I'd guess. Then perhaps a second brood later in the summer...
 
Could you all talk a bit slower please ? I am worn out after trying to catch up with you all .
Just come back from Dawlish Warren this morning noonish. It was down there ! We did a bit of walking and have worn our legs away.
We walked to Dawlish the first day. Spotted some Jellyfish washed up on the beach. Watched one that was determined not to get washed ashore and was battling against the tide . Big things ! We spotted a Kestrel drop down into some grass and fly off with acflower in its talons! :ohmy: It was as we were watching it fly away that it also had a mouse. We continued our walk into Dawlish , had a wander around, did a bit of shopping and walked back to where we were staying .
Wednesday we caught a train into Exeter as the weather wasn't too good . Spent most of our time in the museum. Very interesting. We popped along to see the cathedral and then caught the train home.
Yesterday started off really stormy. We later wandered around a nature reserve as the westher had improved. We wandered back along the beach stopping off now and then to rest our legs. Spotted 6 Gannets plunging in to the sea fishing and then whilst chatting to a Nature Reserve Peep noticed a seal swimming out to sea .
I will have to download my pics to see what I have .

I have pinched out the tops of my broad bean plants, My handbook for Vegetable gardening says that might avoid getting flies on them. The bottom pods are now about four inches long, but no much volume. Good job @Fnaar does not read this thread. ^_^
I've been tending to my plums and trying to find my neighbour's clematis, after trimmimg her privets

Here are some of the pictures of what I've been up to.
I managed to get some pictures of Brunel's pumping station at Starcross .
Where?
 
Did I forget the pictures ?
