I arrived early which gave me an opportunity to make a new friend.

The ducklings are due at any moment.
It's amazing where they will nest, in what must be a busy thoroughfare.
It won't be long (a couple of months) before the Moorhens and the Mallards start brooding on/around the small pond at the back of my house. Last year had two broods for both the resident Moorhens and Mallards.
There are still around 9 Moorhens and (at times) 11 Mallards. Before the first brood there will be lots of chasing the last brood off.
