The
Trumpeters were as curious about me as I was of them, as often is the
case with the swans at Arundel. By the time I exited the nearby hide
however, they had forgotten me and decided it was time for lunch.
The
next hide gave me a chance to observe pochards, greylag geese, and
shelduck, among other varieties of waterfowl.
Next,
it was time to visit the Bewick swans. Curious-kid stared at me then
went back to doze when he realized it was only me. A sibling seemed
little more impressed or alarmed, and also dozed on. In fact, all 4
youngsters took very little notice of me, three of them dozing and
one drinking.
I wonder if they recognize their own reflections.
ReplyDeletenot sure....i think either magpies or pigeons do - but not sure about swans.
