Hello from the water’s edge,

I’ve just finished a new guide on a subject close to my heart—ducks in the UK.

Not just the rare ones or the flashy ones (though there are a few of those), but the familiar shapes and quiet presences we so often pass without really noticing.

This is my very first newsletter, and I’m so glad you’re here for it.

I’ll be sending these out now and then to share new guides, photo stories, and little seasonal moments from my walks.

You can read the new duck guide here:

I hope it brings a bit of calm curiosity to your next walk. You don’t need special gear or long hikes—just a bit of stillness, and maybe a bench near some water.

Thank you for being here, Carol

P.S. I’ve made a little free download you might enjoy—just some simple tips on duckling ID and breeding behaviour, in case you’re out walking this spring and wondering who’s who.

You can save it, print it, or just keep it handy
