Another shot of the spectacled eider. Though Liz and I were both a little sad to find no normal/common eider resident.
Looking up as we strolled along, we spotted a tree of jackdaw and pigeon. Jackdaw, pigeon, canada and greylag geese, and mallards were flocked about the feeder.
Mr Showpigeon and Miss Citypigeon were romancing on the path.
Next up, an infoboard about the birds that should be hanging out the feeder-lake.
The trumpeter duo were not interested in seeing us....and may or may not have been settled into their new smaller lake.
It is of course not the original pair I used to know a few years ago....but a younger pair - though I don't see why their old lake is now empty and they have to put up with these cramped conditions!
In the woodland hide we found a female mandarin duck and some mallards amongst the birdlife.
I like Mr Showpigeon and Miss Citypigeon. It's like a Disney movie. :D
