Here
is Naboo calmly munching a piece of cardboard from a used cigarette
carton. We then return home to a shot or two of Curio and Ditty under
the bird feeder.
My
next excursion was taken on the final weekend in March and was to Arundel
again. There were several changes on this trip. The pair of Bewicks'
swans had moved to an enclosure the other side of the pathway from their former residence. That was the first alteration I noted - although in my
first shot, a mallard flew across and stole the limelight.
There
were another couple of Dusty's across the pathway, as I lingered in
the boat-trip/wildlife garden area awaiting a 30 minute talk. I
wandered along towards the trumpeter swan lake and sure enough the
adult pair were still in situ -
-
but there was no sign at all of the juveniles - now almost a year of
age. I am uncertain if they have been set free in the wild,
transferred to another reserve, or sent abroad - or maybe they were
just hiding. The adults certainly hid their heads!
Wow, Astronaut Dusty. That's pretty cool. :D
ReplyDeleteI love how the mallard photobombed the swans. Perfect timing. :D
And I meant to mention how I love that picture of Naboo where you can see so much of his house. Is that carpet that he has in there?
ReplyDeleteits a furry blanket thing that hngs on his cage door that he uses as a bed!!!!
