Regents park - ducks and heron
Saturday, 28. June 2008, 20:51:03

Wandering around we also came across this batch of recently hatched coot chicks on there nest

and I manged to get him a heron close up

In the wildlife garden we got close to a pair of ruddy ducks, diving under the duckweed. This is the female

and this is the male



And finally, on the way out we encountered 2 families of greylag geese

I would love to photograph some of those birds!
And thanks again for the ID on that bug.

Just found some of your photos on flickr, and must say how beautiful
I found them to be, clicked and then found these wonderful photos too.
Fantastic work, and thanks for sharing, I loved the young Fox cub too,
how wonderful to have seen that. Keep up the wonderful work.
