However what looks like a total dump to a human with a camera clearly appeals to birds in a different way, for if I was asked where the best place on the patch to photograph wildfowl was, I would unhesitatingly say it was Jubilee Pond. All of these were taken there last Sunday morning during a half hour period, and I would say that the project is off to a good, if late, start. I am itching to go back - hopefully not literally, there are so many rats there, and hitching on the rats are...
Whist pride of place obviously goes to the fine specimen immediately below, I also managed to get photos of lesser ducks such as Tufted Duck, Gadwall, Pochard and Shoveler. This latter species is one that I want to spend a lot more time with - I particularly want to get the take-off just a little bit better than my current finest effort!
I'm glad that you post these links back to your earlier posts, it helps we newbies to this ace site fill in the gaps and catch a glimpse of the bigger picture. Also, it shows how your whole style of writing has changed, it really is fascinating! And I wholeheartedly agree, if the litter can be shown to have originated from one particular store then something should be said to the shop owner, he should be made to take a responsibility into not defouling his community.
