A mute swan



A nene goose


An eider duck


Mushrooms


Again, mushrooms


Common cranes ...

They are very nice, but, um, they're very BIG...

Mm yes. I wonder if I can reduce the size of pictures I post from my photobucket account ...

Ooh, wild nenes! We have fed them with grain at Slimbridge. They are, indeed, very gentle. Even when I didn't put my hand far enough down for one, it took my hand very gently in its beak, pulled it down a bit, then let go when my hand was low enough :-)
