More Wicken Fen

Had difficulties yesterday posting any more images on blog. Just one more of Mute Swan with cygnet on its back. Enjoyed seeing what I think were Roe Deer. Sadly the buck was without a right eye, but it didn't stop it racing after the doe at one point! A first for photographing a Little Grebe and a distant image of a Little Egret with its characteristic yellow feet. There was a young surface feeding duck like bird about twice the size of the Dab Chick which I couldn't identify - no sign of any adult around. Perhaps someone will be able to help?

Wicken Fen

Although the light wasn't special this morning, and the wind picked up as the morning progressed, I thoroughly enjoyed capturing a range of birds, some of which I hadn't taken photographs of before. I hadn't seen, or indeed photographed before, a cygnet riding on the back of a parent. What was intriguing was to watch the parent swan continuing to feed with its neck underwater much of the time.
