2nd December Whoopers

On the lagoon as it got dark (c) Tezzer

Feeding in the field (c) Tezzer

 I was beginning to think that I had lost the ability to predict what was about to turn up on the moor and just in the nick of time four Whoopers spared my blushes!
As has often happened in the past the birds were favouring and feeding on the fields to the west of the reserve however at dusk they came in to the southern lagoon to bathe and presumably roost out on the water. They are clearly a family unit of two adults and two juveniles and it would be wonderful if they stayed around for a while.
