As Liz and I approached Arundel, we sighted a bunch of swans on the river.
We counted 11 swans. One was swimming last in line quite some way back and being territorial. After coffee, we wandered along the avenue to WWT where we had our lunch before wandering around.
They have put up new info boards, so I took a few photos of these on our travels - here are the real thing along with a stray tansy.
The aviary was open again - so I took a few pics there. Here are the avocets.
The spectacled eiders were trying to keep cool on this summers' day by gaping.
The merganzers seemed fine with the warmth - maybe as they did a lot of diving.
I had difficulty getting the ducks and info in the same shot onto a cropped picture here.... the black backed radjah shelducks have been moved into their own area at the waterfall site....but to get the info board and ducks in the same postable pic I had to crop two pics from the one.
The shots of the aviary and the merganzers on the rocks are beautiful.
