Wigeon
Martin Mere held plenty of Wigeon last week. A colourful medium sized duck. The numbers increase here in the winter as the birds move south from the colder areas of Scandinavia, Russia and Iceland.
They make a comical squeaking noise which puts a smile on my face while I'm sat in a hide.
A little bit windswept, or slept on it funny. Not sure which.
I'm always so impressed with your bird photography - you do a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2014/11/oakdale-cemetery-wilmington-nc.html
You know Adam I must really make the effort to go to Martin Mere again if i can get shots of Wigeon like that. Tremendous ones which show their tail shape - very hard to see that on the distant flight views I get on Pilling Marsh.
Oh wow...great photos and love the ones in flight. I do love waterfowl living on a pond.. Thank you for linking in Adam.. if you ever want to visit my personal blog, it is now at.. myramblingwoods.com .. Michelle
The water ones are so pretty. And the open mouth one is funny.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the wigeon. Such beautiful colors.
