On the way into work, walking through Beckett Park I caught sight of a pair of Mallards where the underground spring emerges near the beech copse. Not an unusual bird but an unusual sight on the park, I've only seen them here once before, back in April 2010, at the time Dean commented that they might be checking out possible nesting sites as they often nest away from water. The spring disappears after 25 metres and resurfaces again at the edge of the allotments near Headingley train station.
A likely looking couple and I'm sure they are "at it" in the park somewhere.
