We have only seen a pair of mallard ducks once in the front pond and as we had a lot of duckweed that year they wer a welcome sight :)
When the heron came he was like a hungry pelican scooping up so many frogs; and he had the audacity to return for an extra helping of tadpole soup, so I ran outside and flapped my arms to chase him away :)
Wind through the barley,
The song of the breeze,
Ephemeral poppies,
The tracery of trees,
Barleycorn – Magic!
A feast for the eyes.
Our little corner of paradise.
In 1990, as we were driving through a little village, I noticed a quaint old barn with a corrugated roof, and a newly-built house adjacent to it. They were standing on a large plot of land, full of pernicious weeds - a corner of a farmer's field, in fact. Then we saw the "For Sale" sign. Four months later we moved in and decided to create a garden for wildlife.

Always interesting to watch tadpole hatchlings :-) I wonder what it feels like to be in the middle!
Hello again, Chris. Good to have your company :)
I've often wondered if they sing the nursery ditty, 'The one in the middle's the prettiest'! :)
I just love tadpoles and used to catch them when i was a young girl.
You sure have a bunch of them!
Hello, dear Becky. Great to see you again :)
The ponds are brimming with tadpoles at the moment...absolutely teeming with tadpoles :)
Fun footage seeing the tadpoles doing the Hokey Cokey!
Welcome back, Anonymous, to our little corner of paradise :)
That's the music that popped into my head as I watched them wiggle this way and that...and turn around :)
Hey that was great to see! I wish I had a pond (well I do but nothing is in it, it's a little pond in our yard)...great sharing today.
sandy
* Hello, dear Sandy. Great to have your company at Barleycorn :)
I'm glad you were entertained..the tadpoles enjoy dancing around :)
This was wonderful, Thank you!
Wow, you do have lots and lots of darling tadpoles. I sang "Hokey Chokey" as I watched. Wonderful video.
Sherry
* Thanks for joining in the fun, Sherry...it was great fun to make the video :)
Hi again, Wildlife Gardener :-D
I can see that great fun can be had taking video footage from activities within a pond. Do you get ducks dropping in too?
Look forward to seeing more games from your pond. I suppose the heron visit, taking frogs away, was 'pass the parcel'!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :-D

It's nice to see and hear the all singing and all dancing tadpoles at Barleycorn. ;-)
* I'm so glad you enjoyed the show, Yolanda Elizabet :)
