Got the floating hide on the water as it was such a lovely day on Wednesday - alas the water still too cold for comfort.
She was off the nest having a bit of R&R when I sneaked around the corner of the island, but even though the Canadas, moorhens, coots and ducks never gave me a second glance she 'clocked me' straight away and came over to inspect - decided I was just some rubbish (something with which I've no doubt my missus would agree ) and then she went back on the nest.
Wouldn't it be great to be there to witness hatching - fat chance of getting the timing right to that degree - but we can dream.
