Plenty
of pairs swim around together now - as it is just the start of their
mating season for many of the geese, swans and ducks here. It is a
good time of year if you want to spot both male and female of a
species together.
This
pair might have been a pair or might be friends at play - some
species of duck do have sexes that look alike - though I am not yet
expert enough to tell which do and which don't beyond knowing that mallard and eider do have differences. That is something I will
begin to pick up over the next visit or two, hopefully - as mating
season really kicks off.
Real
birds are interrupted by another Dusty statue... This one is situated
near the loo structure and the boat ride jetty. This was my second leg
of the reserve, and this time I got some good pictures of the Bewick
swans - without mallards flying in the way.
Super-Dusty! :D
ReplyDeleteThose are really nice pictures and videos of the swans. The ducks on the water with the swirling reflections came out really good, too.
well the dustys are mainly for the kids.
