BIRD NEWS: 893

 



It is back to Arundel WWT, and here are a redshank on the left and bunch of avocet on the right.



But before we get carried away at WWT Arundel, let us just remember the cheeky chatty little fellow I had visit me last year - Naboo!



Then it is back to Arundel - the spectacled eider and scoters were sunbathing on thier pond rim. We then walked past a gang of Canada Geese - assumedly mama, papa, and 5 youngsters.



Next, a pair of swan geese demonstrate one use of teethed beaks - preening.



Then I made my way to the Trumpeter swan lakelet....no nest!



You can only just spot them both - one at each end of the picture!!



Here is the one by the fence in close-up.

  1. Never forget Naboo! Have you seen him lately?

    What is that black ball in the enclosure with the eider and scoters? It looks like they're going to the Church of the Bowling Ball. 😀

  3. Weird. It looks like a black globe on a column. Some kind of optical illusion.
