THE THURSFORD COLLECTION



These are a few of the Steam Powered Organ Collection which we saw and heard played. They are magnificant. the decor beautiful.












Are they not amazing!













Each design is so different.















Even the smaller ones are so intricate in design.












What more can I say?

A collection of photographs at Animal Ark and Country Park, Norfolk






A peacock walking around taking in a birds-eye view of things.













Just checking mum's still there.








A family of geese about to take a dip.











...And here we go...... all follow me.












Come on, it's fun, why are you waiting?












...And the babies too, not too far from mum.













These wonderful birds make such a noise they need no introduction.











..And the magnificant peacock again.












It was lovely watching these little ones flying around.











What a noise these budgies made!














A Wallaby taking a break in the shade.











Our Quiet Garden


It's always enjoyable to sit listening to the water as it trickles down the feature. The birds often come and bathe here. the Blackbird visits along with the Green finches and Gold finches. The pigeons too enjoy a refreshing drink.

IT'S A FROGS' LIFE







Caught on camera, his little head popping out from the water. It is really amazing, he doesn't move when we come near him.












And again, still quiet! He is often to be seen with his mate sitting on top of the pump. I have placed a plastic sieve over the pump to stop debris getting into the pump and clogging it up. The frogs seem to like sitting on the sieve. I don't object (not that I could) as their weight helps keep the sieve on the bottom of the feature!

Just saying 'Hello'

Our Resident Frog

This little frog in our water feature is one of two. You can see him on the right hand side of the water feature with his head visable! I have had several attempts to picture him. Each time when I've returned with the camera he has retreated to his friend. So this time I came armed with the camera and he was waiting for me.
