SATURDAY CRITTERS -Mount Stewart House and Gardens (Part 6)

I wonder did anyone guess from yesterday's teaser that the first horse is portrayed in this very famous painting which you will hear about on the video.  It is on the wall facing the main staircase.  As I when upstairs to view it, I  also videoed inside the three bedrooms. 

CLICK HERE if the video does not appear.

I would like to thank the guide that were extremely cooperative in assisting me.

These chairs are in the passageway outside the bedrooms and as I turn round to go down this wonderful staircase, I see the beautiful lacquered doors.  

The two panels on the left are false and only made to match the other side of the door that does open.  Now we have to step outside and see the other horse.

Does anyone recognise it?

Well I showed you it when I photographed the exhibition of sculptures in 

Bangor Walled Garden a few months ago. 
It seems to have galloped over to Mount Stewart's Gardens! 

And who is this fellow? 

He looks a bit lost where he is sitting.

Then I spied this bedraggled Owl in a tree. Well is it an Owl?  

Better look at critters that are alive now.

Plenty of critter action going on around these flower heads.

Some Mallard ducks, Mute Swans with their cygnets and a Coot.

Time for lunch and who have I got to join me outside in the lovely sunshine.  This lovely kitten but it was very shy and 

would hardly come out from until the bushes.

There were quite a number of birds like the Robin, Wren, Chaffinch, Coal Tit, Blue Tit and this friendly Great Tit was very cocky and sat on the chair opposite me hoping for an easy lunch.

I do hope you have enjoyed today's post.
