I had a look at the fields next to the car park and came across 151 Greylag Geese, 2 Egyptian Geese (record shot below), several hundred Lapwing, 50+ Golden Plover, 3 Ruff but the highlight was getting the 2 Bewick's Swans in the same scope view as a herd of Whooper Swans, Mute Swans and a single Black Swan and managing to grab a record shot on my phone of them all together (below)! I wonder how many other times all these four have been photographed together?

ReplyDeleteThanks Stevie!!
DeleteI have never seen a Black Swan in a natural environment, only at Martin Mere were they have the pair. Do you see them near you much?
ReplyDeleteThere are one or two pairs/individuals locally though I don't see them too often, mainly during the winter.
