BIRD NEWS:234


Here is a shot of the diving birds area where some of the ducks are feeding. I wonder if anyone can recall which of the swans comes first on the clockwise circle - here is a clue - but it is hiding its tell-tale beak!




Here we go...this shot shows the Bewick Swan's distinctive beak. I took quite a few of the adult duo - who nested but did not appear to produce any young this year.




For a brief interlude, current activity in the back yard includes food gobbling at the feeder pole from multiple starling and sparrow and a loud and active robin who checks the windowsill often. Additionally, the odd pigeon and dove frequent the yard - but not much else this past fortnight. Now back to the Bewick Swans...

  1. Great swan pictures. A couple of them look like paintings. That's a nice poem, too.

  2. That's a very good idea. You should sell jigsaw puzzles of your pictures through deviantArt or something.
