I
came across the blacknecked swans next, shortly after passing an
identification board which I also took a photo of - in case the
mystery bird from my last post was one of those - but the bill is
different, so I will stick to assuming it to be a young thrush.
The
blacknecked swan was hovering around the feeding area for diving
birds - as eager as the gulls to get a taste of what lay inside - but
not able to dive under the enclosure to reach the food.
I
turned aside briefly and thought I got a shot of the duck at the top
of the info board, but seemed to have chopped it out. I went back to
take another shot or two of the swan.
The
other one came up soon after to join it. I assume their nest produced
no young, as there have been no cygnets in sight this year.
Finally
for today's post - HERE is some info on the blue tit and HERE is another article on the field fare.
those blacknecked swans are amazing. They're like half-and-half cookies. :D
ReplyDeletelol... there are some strange swans in the world - these are not resident to the UK - other than at reserves.
