Plenty of Variety

A bit of a selection box of local birds today, taken out at Seven Sisters near Eastbourne.

I'll start with one of the smaller birds, a thrush perched in a tree.

Next, in size order, is a redshank, but this time it's one of the two-legged variety.

The third sighting was a little egret. There were several dotted about, but this one presented a nice flight shot.

Fourth, is a cormorant, lazily fishing in the salt water inlet.

Now for heron, nicely fluffing up its feathers against the chill breeze.

Two more to go… starting with a juvenile.

…and ending with the adults.

    The young swan is just like from the famous fairy tail.

    He's a "Teddy Boy" heron, if memory serves.

    Adele, I wish I'd been able to get closer for that shot of the heron.

    dW, I was veering more to 'punk' given the spikiness of the hairdo. A teddy boy would have combed it forward a bit more.

    Slender, yes, the ugly duckling midway through its transformation.

    I dream wistfully of the days when I had choice in such matters!
