These
shots are of a pair of moorhens who have built a nest near the
woodland hide. They were nibbling together and exchanging
nest-sitting duties when I wandered past. Just a few steps along the
path from the romancing moorhens, I came upon the first duckling I
have seen this year, playing about near Mommy mallard.
I
did not stop to count them, as there were more birds to watch, coffee
to drink, and other things to be done. Pigeons, for example... This
pair were amorously wandering about between coo-wooings.
The
rest of the gang were at the feeder station across the lake. They were
hanging out with jackdaws and ducks. There seem to be quite a flock
at the reserve now, which is pleasant for pigeon lovers such as
myself.
The fuzzy ducklings are cute. And I always love the little island with the spaceship. :D
