Unusual visitors

The night before last two surprise visitors dropped in on a lovely sunny evening when all the customers had disappeared.

They are a male (b/w) and female Tufted Duck 

They were not here long - probably just stopping off on their way to Scotland - they are commonly found up the west coast of the country - we have not seen them on our ponds before!

Also seen last night, standing bold as brass in the middle of the garden was a very fine FOX - not quite to welcome - we all made it to water pretty quick!
