A cold Spring day along the Holkham fresh marsh, and there was plenty to be seen. Brent geese were in good numbers, and there were plenty of waterfowl. Ruff seemed to appear out of thin air, as every time I turned round there were more. Egyptian Geese were making one hell of a racket, and one pair seemed to be nest building high up in the pines.
On the beach and shoreline, a handful of Sanderling were scuttling about whilst being ably supported in numbers by the loud calling Oystercatchers. Although the sun was out, like many walks at Holkham, it was very much on the cold side.

ReplyDeleteI've seen a number of Egyptian geese around this year. Seem to be on the increase in London. Much more attractive than the Canadian variety.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures of the geese and ducks. The Wigeons are my favorites, the Sanderlings are so cute. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
The Egyptian Geese are so different from our geese. Love their colours.
