BIRD NEWS:380






Today's post begins with a couple of shots of the Trumpeter swans. In the second pose, you can see they have come up to their description board. Next, two shots of a goldfinch that was pecking mixed seed in the woodland hide - where Liz said she had seen a coal tit not much earlier.



Then I took a shot of the black necked swans in their lake. The following snap may need a bit of explanation - as it may be difficult to see thru the wire netting and water - but is actually a female mandarin duck enjoying the water.



Then, I strolled past the feeder station and spotted some pigeons - so, of course, snap-snap-snap, I went!



Notice something strange about the second feeder station? That's right - along with the show pigeons, stands a wood pigeon! I don't think I often get both of these 'cousins' in the same shot!

  1. Do the different types of pigeons not usually like to hang out together?

  2. i havent seen them hang together before - well, not wood pigeons and city pigeons, or wood pigeons and show pigeons - though city pigeons and show pigeons do in Australia...
