Feeding Time at Welney

Last evening was the first time I had been to Welney for an 'after dark' swan feeding session. There weren't as many Whooper swans as I had seen on other occasions, and we didn't see any Bewick swans, although we were advised that we would be able to hear them when we left the hide.
We saw plenty of Pochard though and they bobbed around like corks, particularly when they were diving for grain which had been thrown out for them. There are plenty of challenges to get good photographs in these conditions! It was worth a try! With a dark background the majesty of the swans seemed to be emphasised and it was fun taking some portraits.
Couldn't resist capturing the night lit bridge and bike stand too!
