PhotoHunt - Protect(ion)



I did wonder if I was going to be able to post my PhotoHunt on time this week. Last night my computer decided to throw another wobbly and rebooted itself twice and then turned itself off, refusing to be switched back on again... I tried again this morning and still nothing. So I tried different sockets and checked inside to see if the light blue light on the motherboard was still glowing, which was much to my relief.

I was beginning to think that yet another PSU had blown up. On the off chance I changed the power cable over and it started working again... I think it was having little joke at my expense.

But anyway onto the PhotoHunt pictures. I spotted this lovely scene on my recent trip to Little Moreton Hall.

Unattended

But not for long

All mine

Nestling Down

That is so cool that you were able to see the eggs and the duck. I hope she is able to protect them.

What a totally charming series of photos. She has a great clutch of eggs there.
Happy weekend to you Cherie and I am glad your computer decided to cooperate. How we love them but hate them when they act up.

Amanda said...

Great photos!

Happy Weekend :)

Protected by both the mama and the wall. Not a bad place to be an egg.

How lovely! What a privilege to be allowed to view the nest, and what a perfect post for the theme.

Duck eggs are really tasty - pity she got back before you could snaffle them!

Cute photos. I can read your blog on Firefox but have to use Google Chrome to leave a comment as I still get Firefox crashing on yours and the Guardian site.

A fried of mine got a dove cot and four doves. They all disappeared. I would love to have got a photo of her cat popping its head out of the doorway to the dove cot. I don't think the cat is guilty. Three may have simply flown off. A neighbour did report seeing a kestrel hovering above the dove cot one day and flying off with one.
