This baby gull was really enjoying a quiet five minutes on a warm sunny day in July. I wonder what he was thinking about.

Great Crested Grebe

A bird I've long wanted to see. I was delighted to get this picture of it and even more surprised to see that I'd caught two. A delightfully elegant waterbird with ornate head plumes which led to its being hunted for its feathers, almost leading to its extermination from the UK. They dive to feed and also to escape, preferring this to flying. On land they are clumsy because their feet are placed so far back on their bodies. They have an elaborate courtship display in which they rise out of the water and shake their heads. Very young grebes often ride on their parents' backs.

Swan Trio Print

The mute swan is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck, and an orange bill with black at the base of it. Flies with its neck extended and regular slow wingbeats. The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move short distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe into eastern England. This beautiful trio of mute swans are enjoying an early morning crusie in the October sunshine on a lake in central England. A delightful image fror any home or office environment.

This is the largest of the grey geese and most heavily built. This one was just taking off, and disappeared with a few others that day.

Here is a print featuring a photograph of a lovely Canada Goose swimming on the water. I took this photo in a peaceful little park in the suburbs of London in the fading evening light. It shows the bird swimming away, presumably ready to settle down for the night.

I couldn't resist this shot of a mother duck interacting with her duckling. It looks such a tender moment. This mother really had her work cut out as she had a dozen ducklings to look after and my word they really move fast in the water. I hope they all survived.
