Wolves Wild

A couple of the growing cygnets on Perton Pool.

One of the parents pokes its head into the picture.

Pictures of the birds taken a few days previously have already been featured here
and here.

Coots on their nests, presumably incubating eggs. This was one of several coots nesting on the West Park lake. Its nest seemed dangerously close to the shore.

This one was a little further out, in Perton Pool.

Pair of greylag geese with seven goslings on a path by the lake in West Park.

Pictured on the same day as the singleton gosling which featured in the previous post.

This gosling was already well grown when I first noticed it, sitting down nibbling grass.

Coot chick which featured yesterday carried on swimming away from its parent, then started demanding attention.
