I
did get closer to the mystery swan - but it hid its beak - so I still
do not know if it is our Bewick or a Trumpeter. I found a pair of male
mallards hanging out on the fence as I turned the corner.
In
this action packed picture, we can see a mute swan, a pair of
blacknecked swans - and a seagull, pigeon, and moorhen or coot
amongst other birds. Oh look - I found another pigeon to take a
picture of!!
I
spotted a duck with a blue bill as I passed the Iraq area pond and
took a couple of shots of it whilst passing by.
As I strolled onward, past the lakes leading up towards the cafe -
before having a coffee and returning anti clockwise - I stopped to
take a few photos of the magpie geese. In the first of these shots
one was hanging out with a Nene and Mallard...
That's a great shot of the pigeon on the rough-hewn fence.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the Iraq area pond? They have species of birds from Iraq?
that's right - though the Nenes from Hawaaii often hang out there too.
