Wood pigeon and moorhen share the under-feeder crumbs in the woodland hide at Arundel WWT.
This blur is a bird landing or leaving the feeder....alas, not identifiable due to its haste.
Two chaffinch share the feeder with a greenfinch in the above shot. Below, a greenfinch shares sunflower hearts with a bluetit, while another bluetit munches peanut.
A greenfinch and a chaffinch or godfinch share the seed in my next 2 shots.

As I mentioned earlier, our trip was predominantly to try to sight the glossy ibis, that neither of us had as yet seen...This was the hide closest to the reported sightings, but....we spotted shoveller and gadwell, not glossy ibis.
Behind the shovellers and gadwell were some teal...
...all the usual winter gatherers for this lake, but no elusive ibis!
So the elusive ibis doesn't live there, but just visits the other birds?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure....I have yet to see it. I just read about its being there on the wawt fb page
