Southern Screamer at Martin Mere - the missing link between Gamebirds and Wildfowl.
There had been a Crane at Martin Mere this weekend, probably called in by one of the birds in the pens.
Falcated ducks call like Curlews!!!!
I know older Moorhen chicks help with the younger chicks but these three seemed very cosy. 2 sat on the nest, the third bird came in and they were all preening each other. I wonder if more than 1 female lays in the same nest?
Errrrrrwwwww... poor Mallard :-(
ReplyDeleteAs for the Moorhens, well, what can I say... a very liberal bunch of rails! Can I be arsed to leaf through BWP to see if this is normal behaviour - no!
Thanks Andy.
