One last shot of the Bewick duo - Silvertag and Orangetag.
Next up, the Barrows Goldeneye ducks who share their pond with them still.
We saw quite a few young on our trip - tiny coots, ducklings, goslings...
This duckling is a mallard babe. While next up is a coot bum and young.
Back to the mallards - and this male swam past showing off its vibrant spring colors.
Next we spotted some tufted ducks, also in the boat-ride reed beds.
We did see a lot of other birds that did not make it to camera on our trip - from robins, blackbirds and blue tits in the woodland, to swallows, great tits and magpies - also in the woods.
As we passed the picnic area where the boats leave from, we saw 4 families of greylag goose.
Lotsa baby birds this time of year. :)
