That certainly looks a lot like them but the ones on the lake have not been holding their heads up like that. They've been keeping their heads tucked low down to their bodies.

 

I'll take my camera again today but Sunday is usually a day when all the other birds are wary, they won't come close. It's usually due to the increased disturbance of many more walkers with kids and loose dogs. If those birds also keep away from people (as mentioned by me before above), they might not come back because it's half term too.

 

On "normal" days, the Moorhens come to me as I walk over the car park and once I get through the gate, one or both of a pair of Coot come up the bank to within a couple of feet of me. They all stay well back on the water on "busy" days. I give the birds dry dog food not bread slight_smile



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
