Over the last 2-3 weeks, there have been maxima of 25 Mute Swans, 64 Coot, (where 3 pairs bred, and of the 64 only 3 were juvenile), 24 Tufted Duck, and an amazing count of 237 very drab-looking eclipse Mallard. Add in today's 2 Green Sandpiper, Common Sandpipers passing through, a Little Ringed Plover 2 weeks ago, the intermittent Black Swan, Sacred Ibis (!), and a juvenile Ringed Plover for the last 2 days, and the site is worth a visit!
It was particularly appealing at dawn yesterday.........
Nice one-shame the news re Ibis wasn't popped on straightaway.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Chris, too early for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post Chris - as ever you've got me thinking, and it's good to look at things from a different perspective. These things are often fairly obvious when you think about them, but sometimes someone like you needs to start the process off! Love the photo too.
