Walk to the old mill


 We walk down the hill to the bridge by the old mill...Millmannoch means middle mill..there is a good article on it in Wikipedia...to see Dippers. 

The water was so low, and no birds to see that way...but the local agri contractor was working on his machines...they have been working flat out mowing, turning and carrying for silage this past couple of days....and it rained last night.

We had a look over the other side of the bridge just in time to see a mallard and her six ducklings...too quick to photograph!!

Then back home, as the wind is "bracing"...no hot summer day today!!

Mrs Mallard would be pleased she was too quick for you.

Beautiful! We're having a bit of a heat wave here, or at least it feels that way to me, accustomed as I am to our chilly London weather. (Wait 'til I get to Florida!)
