The Egyptian geese family swam even closer to us, so I kept taking pictures of them.
In this one, it is clear that there are 5 youngsters and 2 parents.
There were also a few Canada geese, mallards, coots....
The above shot shows a second family of Egyptian geese as well as a mallard. That concludes the Midhurst section of our day out. Next, onto WWT Arundel.
Here we see the two new male pelicans, brought in specially for the resident duo of females. The two men are in front of the women in this shot.
They seem to be staying apart, yet getting along OK. It is possible they may start breeding from next year onward, so there is plenty of time to sort out which one wants which one!!
The two greyer ones are the gents.
Dating is so hard these days. 😀
