BIRD NEWS: 866

 





Today we start with a baby coot and a parent, taken at WWT Arundel. That is not daffodils - that is mallards!



We saw 3 birds of prey today - kestrel, buzzard, and red kite. This is one of them....



As usual, I failed to get a decent shot.



We left the WWT ands went for ices at Swanborune Lake, where I spotted the pigeon tree well occupied.



In fact, there were only a handful at the lake feeding from crumbs and seed, most were in the tree....though a few had come doewn.



This next shot was the buzzard that we saw on this trip - which landed in a tree.



As we ended our excursion, we passed Goggles' pond....and spotted him hiding from a family of mallard babies.

  1. All that lush foliage at Swanbourne Lake is amazing. There's about a million shades of green.

  2. that is how Arundel gets, along with other places, in late spring...the lime greens of new growth, darker greens of evergreens, etc... various species of tree....different colors.
