A walk along the river

[Kev]

I went back again today to see if I could find any ducklings. Not many about. I only found one clutch but I did also spy the swan from last time sitting tight on a rather large nest so that'll be worth another look in a week or two.

Lots more here

Love the heron, Kev
Just got a thing about herons, I dunno .......

[Kev]

They look very prehistoric.

[nuthatch]

... and have got that sturk look about them

Fabulous photos, Kev - I love the splashy ones

[Kev]

The ducks are mental
It's all calm and then suddenly one will decide that bit of water is THEIRS! GET OFF!!!!! and there's a massive commotion for 30 seconds and then calm again

A nice walk and good s

[Kev]

This is fast becoming my favourite place to go!!

I went back again today to see if there was any sign of the cygnets but the mum was fast asleep on the nest so I think she's still incubating. I'll try next weekend again.

Saw some other bits and bobs though

Lovely Spring colours Kev My favourite Is the Grey Wagtail.

[Kev]

Ah is that what it is? Thanks.

I saw it skim across the river from the opposite bank and land on the railing of the boat I was next to. Did a bit of twittering and then flew off again. I'd never seen one before.

Wow - imagine capturing that wagtail (well not literally )

Great s again, Kev - I like the swan doing the "Mirror, mirror ... "
