Had a 'lieu' day to use up, so I thought I'd take today off, as it's supposed to be the last day of decent weather here in the UK.
Took the GF to Arundel to the Wetlands trust centre & spent over 4 1/2 hours just taking pics & sitting watching the birds etc.

Just a couple of pics - May upload some more, but to me a lot of them look rubbish & OoF.

The first chick is actually a Coot, although it's colouring would suggest a Moorhen.
Not sure what the others are (Forgot!:o).

Mandarin variety?

Decided that after a glass (or 2) of wine, some of the others aren't that soft (focus the eyes!) so here's a few more.

No Idea what any of these are, although I do think one may have been a Scaup of some kind?

The second one is a Harlequin I think. I went to the WWT last year and the wife and I are planning a return visit sometime.

#2 is a Wood Duck.

What an interesting collection of odd looking birdies. The second to last looks funny :D
