Our next excursion was to Wakehurst Place to enjoy the spring colors. But first, here is a shot of poor Pidge - a bedraggled pigeon with a broken beak. It appears that the lower half has bent to one side and the end chipped off. He was suffering also from gales and heavy downpours...so looked very sorry for himself.
There was a raven on the grass land at Wakehurst.
At the pond, we saw Canada geese, mallard and Egyptian geese.
We also saw pheasant and Greylag... Quite a crowd for one pond.
I finally mastered the M setting as well as A to get zoom shots!!
So I managed to get good up close pictures of them all.
I will finish today with a shot of the Egyptian geese, as I do not usually get close ups of them.
HERE is an article about turtle doves.
What a beautiful pond. Those are some great zooms. 😀
