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.

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