I went to see the renovation work at the Little Chapel but got distracted by a distinctive cheep in the distance. 

They wont be around for long so go check them out and bring some seeds.

GOAT FARM

94.365

Took my annual trip to the Goat Farm to meet the new kids.  The owners are so welcoming and made sure I got the shots I was after.  I only had 15 minutes but could easily have spend all afternoon down there.

Not 100% happy with the focus on the face but I tried to pick an image that shows the inquisitive character of the kids.

DUCKLINGS

93.365

The project would not be complete without some ducklings.  Unfortunately there was one less than yesterday.  I think the seagulls might have moved in.

GUERNSEY LANTERN PARADE
