AUGUST 2008 - Lakeside & BoatTrip
















Top left is a Juvenile Great Crested Grebe. This is the survivor of two hatched in April. I had been observing this youngster on and off from it's early days in April and it's two parents since early March when they set up a nest in the marina area of Lakeside.

Top right is a gaggle of geese, Greylag Geese. These were imaged on a river bank while on a river cruise with my buddies of the Astronomical Society. Also on the same boat trip, I saw many Swallows and House Martins along the river bank.

Middle right is a 'First Winter' Black-Headed Gull. Imaged at Lakeside where there is always large numbers of Gulls.
Lastly, another picture of the sole Black Swan on Lakeside. Still only the one.
