One
more shot of the new Bewick swans situated at Arundel WWT. Just
before I left, I passed another family of geese - in the picnic
area. The younger were mostly munching - while the parent watched on
suspiciously...
I
just missed catching one gosling sticking its head thru the wooden
bars and trying to escape towards me - it just obeyed parent goose
and retreated before I went click!
The
following day, Liz & I went to Wakehurst Place. We had planned to
return to Leonardslee gardens - but Liz decided it might be more
enjoyable to go somewhere we hadn't JUST visited a week or two before
for our trip. Above you can see one of their lakes with a greylag
goose on it.
A
Greylag goose turns its back on the camera, while 2 species of duck
stroll munchfully around our legs. As well as the Greylag and ducks,
Wakehurst has other birdlife - plenty of pheasant were spotted on our
excursion.
These are some great pictures. I especially like the goose peeking over the fence and the lake at Wakehurst with the old building in the back.
