The Wetlands had no winter flowers at all, but plenty of grasses. . .
This beautiful dabbling duck was also bathing today....
and yes he is a real beauty... even the reflection is attractive
The magpie goose was desperate to get his beak on the last bit of picnic... however he couldn't work out how to disentangle himself afterwards!
Just as I was leaving found this almost grown up cygnet having a wash... it is one of last years babies, but won't be too long before he gets his lovely white feathers
I really need to practise my birds in flight....
You wouldn't believe this, but these parakeets are wild birds, and absolutely taking over SW London. There are hundreds in Richmond Park. This is the first time I have ever seen one to photograph, as they are adept at hiding in the trees. They were busy scaring away the tits and robins from the bird feeders. Please excuse the blur. .

Glad to see you back at the WWT. Not long left to practice though. We are trying to keep the swans here until you arrive!! J xx
