Spring babies

Went to 3 lakes in the forest today, Speech House Lake, Woorgreen Lake and Cannop Ponds. There were a lot of babies around.

Speech House Lake

Mute swan pen sat on the nest
Mandarin ducklings we had a scary moment with these guys as the protective cob swan was about and we though that he was going to attack them at one point. Luckily his attentions were focused else where on a Mallard.

Greylag goslings, we got very close to these guys today and even had a moment where they were chasing us. Although we weren't scared of the gosling we were afraid of the over protective father who was coming towards us as well.

Boar spotting!

Went looking for the boar we saw on sat night earlier, sadly didn't see them but we did see signs of them and I took a few other shots.

Treecreeper - poor shot but best I could manage

Boar wallow and scratching post, there were quite a few of these dotted along a track through the woods, hopefully we will be staking these out soon.

Saw this bird singing in a tree, which I can't identify, any help much appreciated.

Swallows

Jackdaw - Corvus monedula

Had this guy appear on the fence post in the field next door, managed to get one shot before it took off.
