This
pair of mallards and smew look content in the green waters on this
warm summery day. Some of the lakes waters seemed to be a bit too
green in places though - the sunshine bringing on the algae.
A
trio of magpie geese caught my attention next. Back at the lake, I
rested for a cuppa - relaxing and watching general water life,
wondering where all the eider ducks had gone to...
This
fellow decided to watch me - and my coffee mug, as if the china item
and black liquid were food it could munch if it looked hungrily
towards me.
As
I left the wetlands reserve and walked through Arundel, I caught
sight of more birds - this time on flags!
Back
home, I had a visitor that has occasionally popped in this past year - the local
woodpecker.
Wow, that closeup of the white bird is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe bird flag is cute. It reminds me of how children sometimes misunderstand the words to the Pledge of Allegiance: "I led the pigeons to the flag...."
Thanks - I rather liked it too - but i like to post a mix of good and character shots - not JUST great pics - more interesting. yes, i thought i had out my camera away for the day - then walked past the flags lining a fence...or wall...
