Today,
we start with the eider ducks. They were sighted on each of my three
circles of the reserve in late May. Mostly, they stayed on the
farside bank, but this pair went for a swim.
Looking
up at the cafe roof as I came through between circles 2 and 3, I
spotted some pigeons! On my third and final circuit for this trip, I
caught a couple of shots of the diving ducks obtaining food.
Their
feeding station allows them to tap at the yellow tag which in turn
allows a few pellets of food to fall for the ducks to munch from the
surface of the water. As I circled my final time for this trip, I
caught some better shots of the shelduck family.
They
were swimming nearer to the hide window on this circuit, so I was
able to get some better pictures of the young ones.
I love the shots of the shelducks behind the grass.
