The
Bewick duo popped their heads up eventually, but were so busy feeding
that they just took a quick look at me and went on back to their meal.
Some pretty pigeons paraded upon a nearby shed roof.
I
wandered along to the trumpeter swan enclosure. One of them was on
view - the other hiding behind the reeds. Next up, a bit of
information about Christmas carols -
I
had not taken a picture of the magpie geese for a while, so did so. I
was then upon the blacknecked swans - yes, swans again!
Canada
geese and African shelducks are in my next shot.
My
last shot for today's post shows a collection of pigeons that were
hanging out the new area for handfeeding the birds. The cafe-side
lake where they had eider, whistling ducks, pigeons, mallards,
Aussie woodducks, etc is no longer in situ, and that is where they
used to have a hand-feed area where you could buy a pile of grain for
a few pence to feed the birds. This exhibit has now shut and is being
drained - in preparation for a brand new aviary etc exhibition. I will miss the eiders and Aussie woodducks, but....
I wonder what the purpose is of those pallets where the Magpie Geese are hanging out.
ReplyDeletenot sure - maybe its to give dry ground - or where they put nesting boxes in spring....have to see...
