No,
this is not a photo of a cloud with a speck of dust in view. It is a
photo of a buzzard flying too far away to get a decent shot - despite
zoom and mass megapixels. Ducks in the ducks only gated field I
approve of....
Those
2 trees are reportedly the hang out of both the buzzards and
peregrines....and it looks like 'a bird' of some sort on one branch...
But here is a bird that is easier to identify as it swims close to an
info board about itself....a Bewick swan!
As
there were not many unusual birds thru the hide windows, I spent one
photo on the bust of Peter Scott - LINK - whom is associated with
the various wetlands reserves. INFO
Next,
after info links, a bit of fun - a quiz! Which of the 4 birds
described on plaques are sand martins....? The answer will be in my
NEXT blog post, so people cannot cheat!!!!
Finally for today - LINK -
''It
is like the flocks of wild geese that travel together from the north
to the south in huge numbers. If one bird goes off on its own, it
will be easily caught, but if they stay together, they are much
safer. Near Plum Village there are hunters who use a bird cry to lure
the geese down. If a wild goose leaves the flock and comes down
alone, he will easily be shot by the hunters. ''
It's hard to read the descriptions, but I'm going to guess the first one.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the swan where you can see his reflection is beautiful.
the next post will reveal if you are right or wrong.....
