• Saturday, September 26, 2009 - Ducks at Goose Green

We spent the day out at Goose Green today getting the house that we are renting for a year in order to start staying over at weekends. While there I spent a bit of time at the small reservoir photographing the many duck species that were there. Numbers were Chiloe Wigeon 8 , Silver Teal 12, Speckled Teal  10, Crested Duck 1 pair and a single bird paired with a escaped domestic duck.

Great Idea.
It opens up Lafonia to a bit more exploration. You'll be living down at North Arm with Knacker before you know it. Has the ferry over to the west mainland opened yet. If so have you been across
Keep the shots coming.
