These pictures were taken today by my partner, unfortunately he had his camera set to ‘large’ picture size and they won’t upload onto GoY – so there aren’t many pictures here, and as i’m not too good on resizing them, i’ve not posted many !
Also, i’m not very ‘up’ on wildfowl and have had to use an bird book to identify them …. please tell me if i’ve labelled them wrongly :-/
Eider
Shelduck
Ruddy Duck
Ruddy
Greylag Goose
Pochard ?
Flamingo (don’t know which one)

I am no good with my digital camera. So am doubly enjoying the photographs of the ducks and the goose. All we have here are mallard ducks and loons. Then there are the Canada geese. Two of whom have already been announcing their return to our area. As they are making daily flying rounds. I can hear them coming from quite a distance away, as these two are inveterate conversationalist!
Lovely photographs and lovely waterfowl! thanks for sharing them with us.
