Hadn’t seen any signs of the muscovy duck drake on the lake at Perton for several month. Finally, one morning recently, there he was right by the fence in the feeding area where the Penk flows into the pool.

Turtle returns
It’s back. I hadn’t seen the West Park turtle since late May, despite visiting the park often. Finally, recently, it was back in one of its favourite spots for basking in the sun. It had been away so long, a coot had decided that the end of the log was a safe spot to build its nest.
