Early
November, and here are the resident Bewick's swans at Arundel Wetlands
Reserve. Regular readers may have noticed they appear quite regularly.
HERE is a link to an article connected to the swans and WWT.
HERE is a video I took shortly after taking the last 2 photos. Although
there is a gull screech, you might make out the two hoot sounds the
swan made. My next two shots are of a goldfinch munching niger seed
in the wildlife garden, backed by a berry-sporting tree.
Regular
readers may be aware of what generally follows and expect these next
shots, as I tend to always go clockwise around the reserve. Yes - the
trumpeter swans!
In
these shots you can see that the cygnets are still not the adult
color, although they are now the adult size as they have been for a couple
of visits.
Wow, look at all those trumpeter swans. I wonder how many there are. I think I counted at least 36. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see a video, too. :)
lol, most of those were ducks! The trumpeter swan juveniles have begun to take on their adult color this week - just two weeks since these last shots were taken. It will interest me to see when they are fully adult colored!
ReplyDeleteOh, well... lots of birds, anyway. :D
