Last Call, Butterflies and Apples

Its been a bountiful season for apples here at Wedgewood and the 3 grafted tree, though barely a metre and a half tall, has yielded 3 buckets of apples today.  The Golden Delicious are... well... ummm... delicious!!

On the way to photograph the ducklings this morning, Eddy noticed a very large and beautiful butterfly sitting in the annexe garden.

This is Smarty Britches, a little white drakeling with choc dots on his tail, he's quite a sweetie, very tame, and definitely passes the 'good ducks sit' test.

And this is his sister Smarty Pants, who has even more choc dots on her tail and back, and she definitely went to the same finishing school - good ducks sit!!
