My Operavisit to kew gardens
Monday, March 10, 2008 11:15:23 PM
A few weekends ago I went to Kew gardens. The weather wasn't great so I didn't get many photos but I did manage to get a few nice shots. The daffodils were out in full force
There were some nice snowdrops too
This female mallard is either very lucky or doomed to an unpleasant end, with what is known to happen to unpaired females when they meet a group of unpaired males
There was also a rather tolerant little grebe
I took lots of photos but few came out in the very overcast conditionsThere were a few peacocks running around
And I found this family of Eygptian geese
They also have a marine aquarium there, but its always hard to get photos in aquaria. Best of the lot was this garden eel
I also got this mudskipper
(one of my favourite fish)And this fiddler crab
And in one of the glasshouses was a large pond with some small livebearers and some very large 'normal' fish and catfish. I think this maybe some kind of shovelnosed catfish
So much for being to busy revising to post....

That is one very cute Grebe. And Mama Goose with her pink legs
I've never seen a mudskipper before. Very interesting!

Nice photos, I particularly like the shovelnosed catfish.
