BIRD NEWS:554


This shot is not much clearer either - but from its shape and size, I would say it is a buzzard - although later on I learned that the peregrine falcon had been hanging out nearby...



Next, a pair of info-boards. Everytime I come there is something new to see - be it a new bird species, a bird behaving strangely, of an info board giving me info I have not previously known. Arundel WWT is not only a place to relax and enjoy a wander among multiple species of wildlife and birdlife, but a great place to go to learn - a few facts per visit.



There was actually a lapwing sighted from the lapwing hide on this trip -along with Canada and Greylag geese! The light was alternating between bursts of sunshine and dark crawling clouds - so perfect to get some interesting shots. The effect on the coot and stick was more dramatic IRL than camera-capture though.



I spotted a line of geese swimming past for the above shot.


HERE is a link to the WWT photography contest of last year.
