Mandarin Duck

This species somehow eluded me so far, but today was my lucky day and found some in The Pond in Longshaw (Peak District).

Yesterday finally we had a sunny day on a weekend, so we went out for a nice walk and to take some photos.

It's been a while since I was able to go out and take some photos. It feels like it was always very cloudy and gloomy on all the weeekends since October. Finally during the Christmas break I cought some sunshine!

I think the first photo is my favourite from the weekend. This juvenile Greate Crested Grebe just received his meal from one of his parents (see second photo).

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, this was the first time I was able photograph this wonderful bird.

I remember, back in secondary school I chose the Great Cormorant to write an essay about for homework. Now, here I am again, this time taking photos of this species.

Yesterday's walk at the local reservoir was very successful, I came home with photos including 3 new species I photographed the first time.

This is one of them, a Grey Wagtail.

The other 2 are the Great Cormorant (I'll post this later), and the Common Pochard, unfortunately the latter is just barely recognisable as they were quite far.

It seems the Great Crested Grebe younglings are still depending on their parents to get food.

The days are getting shorter and shorter, the season of after-work photo walks is going to end soon. This one is from today's session. Unfortunately it was already too dark by the time I got to my usual spot, but still managed to take some acceptable shots. Not much though.
