I have put the bird photos taken at the Park on a separate page because there were so many of them. I have identified where possible, and hope there are no mistakes. Anyone looking at this post who can help with the unidentified birds I will be happy to update the page; also if there are mistakes elsewhere.

The following four I cannot identify!
What a plethora of fowl! How did you find out their names?
ReplyDeleteRosaria there were signs around with some of the names but of course when I came to identify the photos 2 months later it was still not so easy. Lucky for me I have several good bird books! Diane
DeleteBeautiful. I love birds, so I really enjoyed all the photos. The swans are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comment. Diane
DeleteI just found this 'tab' - what a collection! I think that the second mystery bird is a "Goldeneye' and the last one shows two Mallard - neither may look much like the pictures in the book because I don't think they are in their breeding plumage. Hope this makes sense.

Yes I am sure you are right Stewart, now you have mentioned it I have photos of them out of breeding plumage as well. The golden eye I should have recognised but the lack of colour threw me! Many thanks Diane
