It's my birthday today and we went birding in Keyhaven again!!
Mallard
Weather wise it was totally different to Sunday, much colder and cloudier. Pretty much the same birds as on Sunday....except I noticed a couple of pintail which I had missed then. I also saw a Peregrine in a dead tree close to the Solent, and watched it for ten minutes or so before it flew off. Saw some Great Crested Grebes but no Black-necked.
After lunch we headed to Eyeworth Pond to see the Mandarin Ducks. Here are a couple of pics....
There were also lots of woodland birds.....fallow deer, ponies and not forgetting the pigs who decided to join us at the pond!!
All in all a good day out.....
