One final big batch of pictures on the Shrewsbury loop of the Severn over the Christmas period.
When not grabbing bread, most of the birds spent most of their time towards the left bank of the river. Perhaps because the currents on the outside of the curve make for better fishing. Perhaps because there’s less disturbance: the right bank has busy roads or footpaths close to the river for all this stretch.
So these are all pictures taken across the river. Goosanders swimming upstream, swimming downstream; threats as one male warns another to stay away from my bird.
