Fluff & feathers


Paid a visit to Killingworth Lake on the way back from a meeting where things were looking good.


A new brood of 11 Tufted Ducks was leading mum a merry dance around the reed island.



Whilst a Pochard basked in the (occasional) sun.


It's easier to take pictures of birds when they give signal of their intended manoeuvre.



This juvenile Great Crested Grebe was spending a lot ot time preening and the results were beginning to show through.

  1. I'm confused Peter,
    That signal, is it a right turn or overtaking??
