The
answer is a mute swan. Pictured above are a pair, along with a pair
of coots. Well, next was another feeder station and another bird - a
pheasant! It amazes me how many species of bird manage to figure out
how to get food out of these food-traps - designed mainly for the
ducks and geese!
It
did not take me long to find a bunch of pigeons to capture on my
camera. I was nearing the cafe/mixed-bird lake again, preparing to go
thru and take a short circular to 2-3 hides before the walk I had
signed up to take on bird surveying.
I
of course had to take a few shots of the pigeons - as, like swans,
they particularly interest me.
To
end today's post, I will share a couple of shots of some geese
nibbling the fence. It appears to be something on the wire part from
the latter shot.
Finally
for today's post - HERE is some info on the starling.
There are some very interesting patterns in the feathers this week.
