Day 3 - 30 Days Wild - A visit to the lake


*Today's random act of wildness - A visit to the lake*

Day 3 of #30DaysWild and once again I had to work until 5.30pm. So the only chance of getting 'wild' was in the evening.

We decided to go to a local lake called 'Fendrod Lake' in Swansea. It is set in the heart of a busy enterprise zone and is about 13 acres.

Every time we visit there is always birds on the lake, and the surrounding bushes and trees you will find lots of critters and smaller birds.

This is what we found...

Swan among the Canada Geese
Male Mallard Duck
Lots of Canada Geese and a solo white goose (can you spot it?) 
Majestic swans on the lake..
...and this one posing like a dragon
Lots of birds through the reeds
A lovely Large White Caterpillar
A cheerful Robin
Song Thrush among the daisies
A very boisterous Wood Pigeon
Brown Damselfly
Green Orb Spider with prey
14 Spotted Ladybird's mating 

Lots of daisies in the sunshine
Blue Tit
Chaffinch singing a beautiful song
Male House Sparrow
Muscovy hybrids? 
Muscovy Duck
Female Mallard
A lovely view of the lake

A lovely walk, but a little disappointed we never got to see any cygnets and goslings - I am sure this time last years there were many, hopefully they are just a little late this year.
