Ollies place...:o)

I thought you might like to see Ollie the Owl’s former home,that we revisited recently,only this time with Carole (Pp) and Harry..and as you know,she very kindly adopted him,to live by her pond…You may recall the Black swans here,with their Cygnets,earlier in the year..

Good news..there are about seven more eggs in their nest,now.:o))

We also saw these swans in a different pond,there,in the Owners garden..which visitors are allowed access to,but only as far as a protective fence.Lovely white swans with black necks.The owner was passing by,so we asked what species they were." er,Black necked swans" was the reply !!..we all started laughing,and moved on with egg on our faces..( not the swans eggs,I hasten to add! Lol.
We then saw something unexpected,in the background..
A large white Wallaby,who seemed to be right at home ,high up in the Holme valley..There was also a brown one,but we couldn’t manage to get a pic of it..

So,back to the serious stuff…sitting outside with home
made scones and coffee,in the warm sunshine..
and Carole and Harry enjoying the scenery..)

Ollie is very lucky to have been adopted by them,don’t you think ? I might have to go back for one of his brothers or sisters :o))

I've never seen a photo of 'black necked swans' before bloomer, could they be having you on and they're a cross between the black & white swans?

Thanks Pamg..maybe they are a cross,but I have never seen any white swans here, they maybe sneaked in,when no one was looking ! Lol.
Thanks Holly..they all seem happy there,and very well looked after..:o)
sorry Carole..I wasn't sure if you were going to show your pics,as you said you weren't happy with them..I should have waited a bit..Russell will print you a copy,so will bring it next time we meet up..:o)..Harry must have known to wear something that didn't clash with your outfit..for the photoshoot ..very considerate ! Lol.

Thanks Shirley..you name it,we have have it, here in Yorkshire ! Lol...referring to Swans and Wallabies,of course !.:o))!
