Saved from watery grave !!

Well it was going to be "Sexy water games !!! " It might be the wrong end of the year and bloody cold to boot, but this female Goosander got exactly what she was after, following a long period of solicitation. be it length of day or temperature her hormones were well and truly a lot higher than she was.

It did not matter which way this male turned the female stopped him moving of, he, like many males!, gave in and dragged her round for a protracted period of pseudo drowning. Photographs are withheld due to graphic sexual content ;-)

Mind you he still had energy to repel the odd voyeur!

On flogging the countryside for sightings the Golden plover flock at Condover are still present and by the look of it increasing, and the Whooper swans over at the Malverley site have grown in numbers, both groups well worth a look, as long as the better conditions hold over the next few days. Whilst the plover flock are distant good views are to be had ( you need a good scope) please take your time scanning the flock you just do not know what might be in amongst them.

A record shot more to come!!

So! short but sweet, therefore I will post here my current fav shot of the year to date, along with a couple of the populars.

OH! the colours seem a bit soft on this one , never mind eh!
Don't you just love a good scrub?



Well there you go, not a lot of newsy things I know, it is just a catch up really more to follow soon.
