After weeks of sunshine and no rain the recent storms brought Archie to life again only to be stopped by... ducklings !
A small family of ducks (including two duckings) had taken a liking to the area close by to the Hydro intake - to be on the safe side we decided to wait until they had moved on - they can still be found further up the River Goyt near to Goytside farm along with the Herons and Canada geese.
A few drops of rain later today will have Archie powering away again.
