When nobody is looking he will hop in the water and jab for fish.

Drive carefully this morning
The Tesco Garden Centre has gone beyond selling koi carp and goldfish and have started to stock livestock for people who want to be a little more self sufficient.
Some chickens have escaped while being carried from checkout to car and have got out onto the A415. And so a new road sign has been erected. So drive carefully this morning – particularly if out near the Marcham Interchange.
Swan watch
This picture from last weekend shows a couple of swans at their nest site on an island near the Abbey Grounds. The duck just stood there and did not appear to be concerned despite those big wings flapping.
Somebody was telling me today they had not seen the swans on the nest for a couple of days now and are growing concerned something may have happened.
Classical Guitarist and Shetland Ponies
A familiar sight and sound in Abingdon is the Classical Guitarist.
Not as frequent, but I have seen them more than once, are these fully-grown Shetland ponies from Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. Here to raise money for the Phoenix Children’s Foundation. They say the money they raise in Abingdon will be spent on helping children here in Abingdon.
