After
eating the fence - and spotting me spotting them - the birds all
trooped 'home' in single file. Next, I strolled past the feeding area where I
spotted a few eiders and other birds. I did not intend to spend very
long at the Wetlands reserve today due to the Christmas festival in
town - but had to take a couple of pictures.
A
mallard and a moorhen are among the birds hanging out with the eider
ducks in the above photograph. Regular readers will understand why I
took the next shot - pigeons!
As
I stopped for a quick coffee on my way out, I took a photo or two
through the restaurant lookout windows. There were quite a few tufted
ducks as well as terns on the water. There were some geese as well,
although my shot attempting to capture them along with the info board
about tufted ducks did not come out too well, as they filled the
island.
Nor
did my shot of a tufted duck and the identification board come out
very well. I decided to leave the reserve and head back into Arundel
to explore the Christmas celebrations again.
The info board didn't come out too well, but the tufted duck did, especially if you look at the full-sized picture.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of all the birds on the little island.
its probably because it was indoors - normally i shoot them outdoors.
