Mandarin's At The Ponds


Today as the weather was ok I thought I'd spend a couple of hours at Nagshead RSPB Reserve in the FOD. March isn't the best time to visit the reserve as the migrants are yet to arrive but as I haven't been for some time I was interested to see how the reserve had changed. Arriving at the carpark it now has a new visitors centre, well new for me, walking down the track to the old visitor centre location theres was lots of board activety in the field to the left, the track now extends further down into the forest of pine rather than the deciduous woodland associated with Nagshead, the whole area was deadly silent so time to relocate to nearby Cannop Ponds

Cannop Ponds is always an area than can be relied for bird activity even when other locations are quite, so plan B is to again photograph the resident Madarin's Ducks, the trick..."feed the ducks" with some bread and the normally shy Madarin's will come a little closer in the frenzied feeding Mallard / Tufted Ducks
