Mixed Wildfowl

Thank for this lovely series of wildfowl photos Muddy....enjoyed them greatly............

What a busy lake.....Brilliant photo's

Thankyou, it's one of my favourite places to visit. :-)

Lovely photo is this a lake or pond

Lovely photo's MW....you're lucky to be near Martin Mere,,,,isn't that where a 21 year old Whooper swan returned to early this year?...think he's called "The Wanderer" if I remember correctly.

That's right Philc1, many of the birds are ringed, but each bird's bill pattern is unique - like human fingerprints. Sixpence, I suppose you'd say it was a lake - it's called a mere up here - a number of lakes linked by ditches and sluices. I've included a link (map) to explain. The wildfowl were photographed on number 7. http://www.wwt.org.uk/visit-us/martin-mere?
