It was great to see the Trumpeters again.We only had an hour before the reserve losed though - so could not spend long watching them.
On we went to the meadow maze that Liz likes strolling around - to find a few baby coots hanging about sunbathing.
So this is what a teenage coot looks like...
Onwards to the Bewick swan pond - to see Mrs Silvertag Bewick...and...a new partner?
Yes, definitely two bewicks...now, was one our Mrs Silvertag or were they both newbies?
Well, there was a silvertag on one of them.....
The next excursions was when Liz and I went to Southwater to do a 5 mile hike followed by trotting round the lake and having a picnic lunch. We sat wth a view of the main lake and some coots.
Does the other Bewick have a tag?
ReplyDeletethey both have silvertags - one on the right and one on the left leg...
