Before
answering the question relating to the identification of the bird in
the last post, here is a third blue tit who did not want its
photograph taken! Below is another shot of the mystery bird, along
with a male and female mallard and a wood pigeon.
The
answer being a water rail, as shown in the info board above. It
disappeared into this area - but I can only spot the duck...
The
above shot is a wood pigeon in the woods - these days they are more
commonly found in gardens, but they do still frequent woodland areas
as well. Next up, the black-necked swan family gliding about a lake.
One
of this group of geese I passed next on my rambles decided to eat the
fence. It apparently found it quite tasty.
Well, it looks delicious. :D
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many species of birds live in Arundel all together.
not sure - because there are the lake birds as well as the wetlanmds reserve birds -also the town buirds and the rooks or ravens around the castle - and its sited in the countryside, so quite a few wild birds....
ReplyDeleteThere's probably no way to know. :D
