Swan Preening at Seven Sisters

Just a very small sample of some shots taken at Seven Sisters today. Two beautiful mute swans were gliding along the waterway, pausing to graze beneath the surface and occasionally stopping to preen their feathers.

Plus three busy rats over at Falmer

The temperature has fallen away and is hovering just above freezing, so nothing from the garden tonight.

Goosander Still at Falmer

The goosander was still at Falmer pond today. It was lurking at the far side of the island so it took me a while to spot it. Hardly good light, but slightly better than yesterday.
