This
is a cool shot that just happened. I was trying to take a picture of
the eider ducks on their cafe-side lake as I neared the exit, when a
pigeon swooshed in front of me....we therefore have a group of eiders
and a flying pigeon!
The
black necked swan was showing off its neck as I strolled briskly past
its lake enclosure just before the eider area today. Back to pigeons
- as I spent my last 10-15 minutes at the reserve, I spotted a pair
of wood pigeons in a tree - the one to the right was munching
something from the tree.
Finally
for today, I was on my way back to the exit, too chilled to continue
and deciding to grab lunch at a store on my way home, when this
little fellow stood on the path pecking at grubs or crumbs to one
side begging for its photo to be taken, which of course I did.
On
arriving home, with the excitement of having photos of a firecrest to
check out, I soon lost my slightly risen mood back to gloom. Filling
the kettle to grab a hot chocolate to sit with while browsing my
pictures, I spotted a back yard of white feathers - those
pigeon-murdering black cats have been killing on my territory again.
I wish those cats would stick to their Meow Mix. That's a great picture of the little Firecrest, though.
