I saw these cute little mallard ducklings this afternoon so of course I had to get many shots of them with my camera. #ducklings #ponds #parks #barcelona #photography

Last March we set up a basic sink 'pond' in the garden. This March there are Smooth Newts in it. A teeny-tiny gain for wildlife.

At top of pond a dark muskrat is drying off on shore after swimming across the pond where two male mallets are swimming across pond

A male mallard duck swims ahead of a female duck in middle of pond in front of cat o nine tails on far side

Afternoon all. Visitors to the pond. They show up every spring around this time. The two mallard males are chasing after a female duck that has already chosen the lead male who stays in between her and the other male. The guy on far shore is a muskrat.

A colour snap in portrait format. The photograph shows a wooden bench by a pond reflected in the water. There are yellow daffodil bulbs waiting to flower, the lawn looks lush and healthy and the blue sky is a welcome sight.

Promise of Spring 2026
