Mrs
and Mr Trumpeter preening was my next photographs' subject.
Meanwhile, at the approach to the sandmartin hide, a pair of mallards
had decided to rest. It was shelducks on view from inside the hide.
One flew at another, shooing him away - so possibly they are begining
to think about mating and breeding - unless they are a formed pair
just wintering it out.
The
trumpeter duo were still busy preening as I passed by again, leaving
the hide and about to walk along towards the wildflower hut towards
the reed area.
I
next attempted to catch a picture of an elusive firecrest that had
been spotted dashing about the dense bushes on the edge of the
wildflower garden - however, I dont think you want to see a brown
splodge amongst brambles, so won't share my disaster shots. Instead,
have an infoboard about the kingfisher!
I
passed by the trumpeters yet again as I left the area - still
preening!
I like the shot of the mallards on the road. I wonder what all those holes in the wall are.
