Hello Woofers.
It's Daisy again!
Well, once again, Old Two Legs decided to stay in bed rather than get up
early and see the sunrise. So, all we got is this shot and not even a storm
cloud to break it up!
We did see that the Daffodillies had sprouted and the local flower picker hadn't got to them yet!
Looking good Mr Daffodilly!
When it
came to our lunchtime walk, for a change we decided to visit walks we have had
when I was a puppy.
We
started off going through the old golf course and right through past the village
hall. There, at the entrance to the golf course we came across these flowers,
not sure what they are but they sure look pretty!
Not sure what they are, a sort of Daffodilly?
We carried on down to the Allhallows Marshes where as expected, it was soggy under paw!
It was so soggy that there were a couple of swans paddling in the ditch!
It can't be that deep, I mean, it only comes half way up a duck!
I had fun watching the container ships going up and down the Thames.
Just off the point, you could see the London Stone which marks the limit of the control of the Port of London. I suppose that means they can put on some speed and not worry about creating a wash!
London
Stone is right in the middle!
The best bit was when OTL saw a
rare sight, a Glossy Ibis on the other side of the ditch. It has been reported
before but we had never seen it.
Now the Glossy Ibis is normally
found in Africa so to see it in North Kent is a bit of a 'spot'!
OTL reckons it must have escaped
from a private collection or maybe it has wandered off from a bird sanctuary
where they have tried to breed them. OTL reckons he read something about that
happening in Lincolnshire.
One very rare Glossy Ibis!
Well, that's it for today.
See you tomorrow.
Luv,
Daisy.
