One
last shot of the kingfisher! Next, Liz spotted a bird that she
thought was a young water rail - and possibly it is. I am still
uncertain, as I usually only see water rail in winter - not summer,
yet it certainly walked like one - and did not have the white or red
patches of coots and moorhens...It looked exactly like a young one
would - except the beak was shorter than I would imagine. Maybe I am
used to pigeons - who are born with feet and beaks at adult size and
have to grow the rest of themselves to fit.
After I had spent a while taking photos of the perhaps-young water rail, I
took a couple of shots of a tern. It was diving for food every so
often, after flying low and looking for its lunch.
My
last photos for today are a second shot of the tern, diving
down....and a blurry capture of a woodpecker feeding at the large
hide - which was our next stop on the day's wanderings.
I guess I did spot the Kingfisher. :D
ReplyDeleteI love those shots of the Tern in motion.
