Munching merganser.

Very dull and overcast today, but with high tide being early i decided to see if i could get some photos of the Mergansers that have been on the estuary. I decided to visit the hammerhead on the island and stood on the ponton. No sign of any drakes but this female was busy trying to swallow the lug worm she had found.

Goosanders are Goal !!

My first real trip out for this year and my target was the Goosander, that have been on the river Colne at castle park, Colchester. Although present on many of the reservoir's in Essex, i decided that by allowing myself plenty of time i would be able to get quite close to these fast swimming quick diving ducks for some better photo's then i already had.
