Cornish pond life

The continuing summer sunshine is providing perfect weather for pond life around the area, Dragonflies top the list with many species making a good show yesterday, newts, tadpoles and frogs were in abundance and as my wife and I watched as the action progress for several peaceful hours we saw a cuckoo make a graceful swoop over a pond to skilfully take out a female Emperor dragonfly as it was laying its last egg,   To top the show a cycling continental musician appeared from nowhere,  Sat on the bank, played his guitar and sang us a few of his favourite songs,  A very nice way to end the day !
