indeed,
in this picture it appears mommy coot is teaching baby coot how to
eat without being fed and the baby does look very interested in the
lesson! My final stop for this brief 1-2 hour trip to Arundel was the
cafe, where I had coffee and lunched. The eider ducks seemed to be
congregating noisily around the cafe area to my pleasure.
Not
having human companions with me on this trip, it was nice to hang
with the eiders...
I
then made my way onwards, already having stopped at Bognor and Littlehampton before Arundel - but wanting to slip in Rustington on
my way home. I did in fact manage the lot in an excursion of 8 hours
and 15-20 minutes.
On
my way home, I strolled along the avenue to town to catch the bus
and spotted an entire family of pheasants. As there are 3 gray and
one brown, I assume the brown is the female and gray are the young.
One
last shot taken back in the reserve that for some reason did not come
in order numerically when i loaded the photo - of the trumpeter swan.
The mommy coot does seem to be explaining the facts of life to baby. :D
