Not a particularly interesting selection, but all these have been seen in walking distance from the house. We just do not have time to go further afield. Hopefully, my ID is correct.
Black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in their winter plumage.
Canada goose (Branta canadensis).
Mute swan (Cygnus olor) and Canada Goose.
Mute Swan hissing at me I was a bit too close!
As above.

I'm pleased you enjoyed my jokes Diane. I'm sorry our UK weather isn't a little better.
ReplyDeletePhil it really could be very much worse, I have managed to get out for a walk each day. Because one of us needs to be on standby for FIL it means that we cannot go far together. All walks have been around the local green and the canal, I must say I have enjoyed them but I am limited to what I see in our feathered friends!! Cheers Diane
DeleteI have to disagree with the interest level! I rather enjoyed catching up with these species recently!

Delighted that you are interested. Different to where we are in France though as well. Cheers Diane
DeleteDucks remind me of my childhood - feeding them in the pond.
ReplyDeleteYes I also remember doing that as a child. it used to be fun. Cheers Diane
DeleteThis isn't the best time of year for UK birding, especially in parks and the like, but keep it up. You just never know Diane.
ReplyDeleteI have not had a chance to get out even close by this past week, FIL has not been well and time has been more than limited. Maybe I will get a chance at the weekend to make a break for a couple of hours! Hopefully a few birds may pop in to say hello 😉 Have a good weekend, Diane
