Very cold out and about this morning, with lots of ice about. There was even some on the Estuary...
Not an every day sight!
I've had a couple of tours of the river valley today, but haven't seen that much really. Four Gadwall and a few Med Gulls on the Estuary being as good as it got for me.
I had to go to Axminster mid morning today, so thought I'd drive a little bit further north and look over a certain quarry pool. It's the kind of pool that you know what birds will be on it before you've even lifted your bins up....
That group of birds on the far side is surely going to include too many Canada Geese, a few Mallard, maybe the odd aytha duck and a couple of Coot, possibly even a Cormorant...
Yes I was right!
OH! Hang on a minute...
Yes you guessed it! I went to Chard Junction Gravel Pits to see these two beauts....
two stonking male Ring-necked Ducks
They were nice to see yes, but I hate their guts because they are simply refusing to fly south! Please boys - just one of you will do - you just HAVE to give Lower Bruckland Fishing Ponds a visit.....
