BIRD NEWS: 962

 




Our next day out started in Littlehampton, where we spotted a family of mute swans lazing beside the old oyster pond



We got closer....



Our next stop was a brief call in at WWT Arundel. The male pelicans were preening and the females lazing.



There were a pair of mute swans hiding in the undergrowth by the side of one lake. They now have a viewing platform over the reedbeds instead of a hide. Here is what you an apparently spot.



Next up, Mr & Mrs Silvertag Bewick.



Remember, the female birds have their tags on their right leg and the males on their left




Alas, too far away to see by camera, there is a peregrine falcon perched on a tree branch up on the hangar.



And finally a link to an article about the success of one species we have seen a lot of over the past few years HERE.
