Avoiding the rain (2)

I'm sure this herd of young bullocks recognised us from last time: they always look so interested in us!

We spent time ragondin spotting, but found nothing up this waterway.

But here's a youngster swimming for safety after being disturbed by two humans. Look at the size of the entrance to the family's burrow - no wonder the farmers don't like them as they damage the canal banks and eat the crops.

In the distance we spotted the head of a stork in its nest, obviously keeping its eggs/young warm as it wasn't very happy as we got nearer. We'll have to return later to see the youngsters.

And finally a heron obviously looking for a mid-afternoon snack.

The heavens opened just as we neared home. We'd made the most of our afternoon.
