I did my weekly shopping today, and a coot might have finally explained to me the moorhen behaviour I have been witnessing as one was doing exactly the same thing, but it was occasionally pecking at bits and pieces that were coming its way. It still seemed a lot of effort for not much reward...

A pair of Canada geese have started nesting on the pontoon, in the same spot where they failed last year. We'll how it goes this year...


I also saw my first Egyptian Geese for this year with the pair below. Strangely enough, I used to see them quite regularly on my patch last year, but not this one...
