BIRD NEWS:596

 



The pigeon flutter ended up with most of the gang settling in the pigeon tree.



That brings us near to the end of our late October trip to WWT Arundel. We stopped off for a coffee at the cafe on our way homewards, passing this prelude to the new exhibit on our way to the cafe.



My next trip was a solo hike to Mewsbrook Lake...aimed at spotting some swans, which alas did not appear to be there any longer.



There were plenty of other waterfowl however, even if the mute swan family had moved onwards. Coots, moorhen, ducks and gulls predominated the waterfowl present.



I took a few general shots of the mixed birdlife while searching for the absent swans.



I then took a couple of shots of the mallards, gathered on the edge of the island, as some of them had funny coloring.



My last shot today shows a few isle-edged birds taking a sip of water.
