The saturday before last I headed to Richmond Park for so Sue could try out some photography techniques she'd been reading about. I took a lot of photos as I always do when visiting this park, so Ive broken it down into more than one post. In this post I'll cover the ducks, starting with the pintails.
These birds are part of the collection in the Isabella Plantation
There were some shovlers there too
They were demostrating how they use their large beaks to dabble for food
I had not seen these two species there before, and there were another new species: shelducks
There were species I'd seen before too:
Mandarins
These were present on another pond too
Red crested pochards
I only saw the single bird this timeI got some more commonly encounter species, including a close up of a canada goose
And, to finish off, some mallards
