On
my late December Arundel visit, my first photos were of the Bewick
swan family. You can see that the cygnets have almost lost their gray
coloring and become practically white, like the parents.
I
then encountered a long tailed tit - but my pictures were not very
successful. I have taken better photos that I have shared in previous
posts.
Ok,
swan identification time - which of the four breeds of swan is this?
Bewick, Trumpeter, Mute or Blacknecked? The above picture should rule
out one species - and this next shot the remaining 2, leaving you
with the result:
Finally
- another shot to go with, before making your choice...
The
answer will be in my next post. Back home, little is going on, apart
from me chasing 2 black furballs out of my yard. There are very few
birds around thanks to this pair of bullying pigeon-murderers.

yard - click HERE.
You've got cats killing your birds? :(

ReplyDeleteOkay, I see it now. I love cats, but I wish they wouldn't attack things like that.
ReplyDeleteexactly...as pets they assumedly get fed - and have no need to hunt/murder in addition...
