Happy New Year to all the Bird Garden readers.
Its been a fair start to the year in Lowestoft. The Iceland Gull that I found on the 30th Nov 2010 is celebrating its 2 month stay anniversary today!! This is my most recent picture of it, chilling on a groyne.
Also, a trip to Leathes Ham yesterday 29/01/11 produced a menagery of ducks. The usual shoveler, tufted, mallard & widgeon were there. However, in amongst them were a pair of Teal, a pair of Pintail, and 6 magnificent Scaup! Check these out!
And just as I was leaving a Water Rail scampered out of hiding to feed right in front of me, incredible behaviour for this shy, reclusive species. I got one picture before the obligatory dog walker scared it of for me.....thanks for that.....
Until next time,
