Posing Goldeneye

Whilst at Abberton waiting and hoping that the Bittern would show. This Goldeneye popped up in front of me and it even decided to pose for the camera. Pity the bittern never popped out the reeds though.

Gleaming from the Gloom

This pair of Goldeneye were surprised to see me standing on the seawall as they surfaced, as i was them when i arrived at Coopers beach East Mersea. But as always there gleaming golden eye was instantly seen in the gloomy weather and the drakes bottle green head can actually be seen in the top picture. The chance of more photo's soon disappeared as they quickly swam back out into the estuary.
