There dives a sand marten - into its nesting hole.
Then we arrived at the Bewick lake – thankfully both Mr Silvertag Bewick and Mrs Silvertag Bewick were still in residence.
No nest again this year though.
It looked like the one standing nearest to us had a tag on both legs, though.
Assumedly Mrs Silvertag Bewick as there was a tag on it's right leg....
...but it had another band on it as well.....so just assumedly. Further along, we encountered a bunch of dozing mallards. Alas, the trumpeter swan was nowhere to be seen – so in all likelihood the single remaining swan was shipped out to another reserve for its mate introduction and WWT Arundel no longer have any trumpeters.... sad.
That leaves just one more bird related photograph taken at WWT Arundel, before moving on to the next excursion.
Maybe the Bewicks have babies that are being incubated.
