I
finally managed to get another Arundel WWT excursion in - although as
it was so cold and with an icy wind, I only stayed about 2 hours.
First up, an information board to supplement my own ramblings. This
time, concerning the kingfisher - regular readers will have spotted a
few photos of this bird in previous entries, although I did not see
one today.
Next,
a post sitting duck - one of those strange ones that when moulting
turn blackish brown with a white patch, then gradually shade up back
into mallard-like coloring, as you can see here.
It
was very cold, as I have already mentioned - so a hot coffee at the
cafe was taken not long after my arrival. I therefore took a shot
of the eiders and other aqautica on the cafe-side lake, whilst
indulging in my lonesome cuppa.
This
is one of the 2017 Bewick swan babes eyeing me as I walked past its
enclosure. I ex-zoomed to get a picture of the foursome family from
which it was wandering, before moving on to the Trumpeter enclosure.
The
Trumpeter swans were gliding about by the island today - not close
enough for a decent picture. I did try again on my way back around
for the second trot later on, but still they were too far away to
get a proper picture this excursion
I disagree-- that picture is more than decent. In fact, those last three are beautiful.
ReplyDeletewell they are not very close-up..... but as scenic photos they are good, just not good as swan photos.
ReplyDeleteWell, they show the birds in their environment, which is nice.
