Legally allowed back to Coniston Water after the relaxation of further Coronavirus lockdown rules imposed in early 2021, it is evident that the local fauna have been happy to have been left in relative peace and quiet.
Four pairs of Red Breasted Mergansers dive in a quiet area of water and Mr and Mrs Jemima Puddleduck appear to have been busy too!
The Grey Heron still patrols his patch and the Kingfisher was even spotted (but sadly not photographed} in its usual haunts at the water’s edge fishing for minnows.
**It’s good to be allowed back.**
