Heron & Moorhen

The feeding of the waterfowl at Merryton bridge is attracting quite a following, and I don't just mean people.

The Heron and Moorhen  are now frequently in the vicinity too. 
Not to mention my Pigeon pal as well !

The Matriarch

October last year saw the entire family still in the River, and the weather a bit milder as well. The cygnets were starting to get a bit too friendly for Penny's liking, and as Matriarch she had to intervene. The sequence of pics tells the story on this link .
Meanwhile today I tried a small mini camera on my jacket, trying to catch some close shots of my Pigeon pal with Popeye and Penny having a chat in the background !
