OK. We know many boats have pets. We also see loads of wildlife along the canals and rivers.

This thread is a spot to share these critters with the community.

    Before getting a narrowboat: Kingfishers live in books After getting a narrowboat: Three Kingfishers woosh by within seconds of each other. Beautiful!

    This was near Wilcot on the K&A.

      Grew up near the Thames. My father was always looking to photograph kingfishers. He got a few good ones.

      I’ve just found that not all messages on here are arriving into my view of the world on lemmly.ml, so I’ve created a new account with the same username but on feddit.uk :)

      Using the Jerboa app, I can only log in to one account at a time, but maybe a new update to it will allow multiple accounts.

      Alternatively I guess there’s a way to link feddit.uk with lemmy.ml, but perhaps that requires admins gluing things together? (I have no Idea, it’s all magic)

        Yep I am not sure. Def seems to be a delay. As with the instance not showing up on browse.feddit.de Hopefully when @tom has some free time. He can ask other admins for assistance. But it just maybe the need to attract more instances to link in some way for the federation to work well. All guessers though.

        Unfortunatly without setting up my own instance there is not much I can see as far as how the set up of that works yet. And things are to new to easy search for help.

    Not sure what sort of duck we saw on the way into Reading on the K&A, but it gave me a dirty look as we went by!

    Here’s a duck, local to the marina we’re currently in, looking for a sneaky place to lay her eggs a couple of months back.

    Please excuse the mess!

      Yep Just left my boat on the coventry. While I had to come home for an appointment. On the trip up there I kept seeing cute tiny ducklins swimming desperatly after their mothers. Unfortunatly they all disapeared whenver I had a camara ready.

      Likely to be to late when I go to collect the boat on wednesday. But still hoping to get a few pics or vids. Will share any.
