Unable to walk the camera this week, I’m filling in with the second part of our visit to Whitlingham Country Park on 4th June 2025. Please enjoy
I begin this post with some bird portraits. They’re always usually happy to pose for our cameras. Above πΌ it’s a mallard’s life amongst the big boys. Below π½ β¬ walk like an Egyptian
There’s always one who just has to look at the camera; nothing nonchalant about him πΌπ½ while these swans decide to play it coy
It is the season to be moulting (mallards in their ‘underwear’) πΌπ½ it’s that goose again, photo bombing
The cast of Swan Lake take a break from rehearsals πΌπ½ Two old crows having a natter
Away from the birds, the lake πΌπ½ and the river, source of the water (the bridge carries the trains) β¬ this being part of the Norfolk Broads, it’s not unusual to see any number of water craft moored here
I do hope you enjoyed. Close shots saved for Tuesday Treats












My favorite are the crows.

I have used a similar photo of the crows as my avatar on Twitter. Two old crows having a natter, seemed apt!

Fun captures there Crisp, β¦ I loved seeing the cast of Swan Lake, relaxing nonchalantly, preening ever so regallyβ¦ and the two crows shot was just perfect, β¦ you could just imagine them having a natter, about the noisy, ducky neighbours, β¦π«

I think my favourite is the photo-bombing goose who turns up in several of the shots π

Thank you, Frank. This is one place we can guarantee there will be birds, nice big birds that are easy to get into focus, that don’t hide in the trees!
