I
will start today's post with some more pictres of the redshank I
spotted as I entered Widewater Lagoon on my way towards Worthing
from Shoreham.
I
took rather a lot of photographs actually - just in case I couldn't
identify it on the infoboard. I then spoted a herring gull hanging
with blackheaded gulls on the next island along so took a shot of
them.
I
then spotted a trio of mute swans across the farside of the lagoon. I
looked back at the gulls...
i
was thankful that the weather had stayed reasonable. After sometime
of 'wet n windy', we had had a couple of dry days and a light
overnight shower. The day gave me clouds clearing and I took the
opportunity to get out while I could, knowing full well that the
weather forcast was for extreme gales and heavy rain for 36 hours,
starting that evening/night. As I walked along further, I spotted
a couple of blobs over the far side of the lagoon - assumedly mallards
iItook their picture. On computerising the picture it does indeed
appear to be a pair of mallards.
That's a nice batch of pictures. The muted light of the cloudy day gives them a nice peaceful quality.
ReplyDeleteThats a positive view - i think they're somewhat grey and dreary, but...
