A trip to Far Pastures hide in Rowlands Gill for an hour tonight brought these 3 images. I didn't have my longer lens so these have turned out pretty good considering. The whole family were so cute. Mum and Dad were so protective of their babies that when they were worried by a swan which kept following them around and making a nusience of itself, Dad came to the rescue and off he swam making himself a decoy whilst Mum took them off to safety. The swan was a real nusience. But he finally gave up after a while.It was nice meeting wildlife photographers Venetia and Cath. They had some fantastic kit with them and I can imagine their images will be spot on. Their Kids were also armed with some long lens' too. It was nice talking to them all. We found out we'd just missed the fox asleep near the reed bed and he'd just awoken, shook himself and wandered off and we'd also missed the heron. Another visit is called for soon I think.
No doubt we'll meet up again with Venetia, Cath & kids at some hide in the area one day.

Great shots, cool story.
Very nice Carole, can't wait to see them around here and I doubt that I will be able to get that close. Give an update in a couples of weeks, if you can, to see how fast they grow.
I will be back later on hopefully they will still be there Andre.
Thanks for all your comments
