If it had some grey feathers it can't have been a Great White Egret, which is what I first thought of.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-16062155234981727172017-11-10T00:26:39.561+00:002017-11-10T00:26:39.561+00:00I like 'Winter Wasteland'.

It turned out to be a white Heron- not albino, there were a few grey feathers on it. Never seen anything like it.

They used to live in the backyard, quite happily, I thought at the time. However nearly all died of myxomatosis, sadly. I never wanted to have pet rabbits again after that.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-72534852028134089802017-11-09T22:19:00.487+00:002017-11-09T22:19:00.487+00:00I've been told that female Black Swans are les...I've been told that female Black Swans are less ruffled than males.

There is now a small population of feral Black Swans in Britain, but in this crowded island 'feral' doesn't mean totally wild.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-7407518501811422152017-11-09T19:26:12.218+00:002017-11-09T19:26:12.218+00:00Lovely to see the 4 Black Swans together- wonder w...Lovely to see the 4 Black Swans together- wonder where they have come from?Conehead54https://www.blogger.com/profile/18423862602236191493noreply@blogger.com
