Greater White-fronted Goose

Exminster Marsh, Exminster, Devon
I had to pop in to Exeter mid afternoon, so it was rude not to have a quick call into Exminster Marsh. I didn’t stay very long but long enough to finally catch up with the Greater White-fronted Goose. I was viewing from Station Road and the bird in question was pottering around towards the turf area. It was distant but I got great views through the scope. My pictures however are not so great.

Whilst watching the Goose, this Mute Swan had sneaked up a few metres away and duly decided it would build a nest on the road.

Another Crealy Adventure

Crealy great adventure park, Devon
Our weekly visit to Crealy to get the kids to burn off some energy. Whilst they were playing, I managed to get away for a walk around the pond. I always pray that it will produce an unusual Gull or Wildfowl species. No such luck today but couldn't resist a few iPhone pictures of some of the residents.
