These very endangered birds don't migrate south for the winter, nor do they belong in South Gloucestershire but rather Hawaii instead !
Any conservationists wanna knit a lot of very small jumpers ? if so please contact the WWT Slimbridge. (o;

Thanks for the comment Froggy
Yep it is a dark image but bear in mind it was close to sunset, & the low sun was casting very long shadows.
As for the ticket to Hawaii she'll be much safer here so if you care so much you'd better get knitting now ! lol
Cheers, & have a good weekend .. Uncle Phil

Help I'm being repressed. )o: A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... Do the Wall Street shuffle.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
A very pretty bird. Consider yourself lucky to be able to capture it. You did a great job. Good color and clarity.

Looks like a pigeongullduckgoose. No wonder it is so rare. Great capture Phlossie and it is sad to see the end of species. I am glad this is rebounding.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows.
Anyone who does not like clouds, does not like to dream.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
The nene goose is the Hawaiian state bird. It's ancestor is the Canada Goose, a common waterfowl of North America. The nene have adapted to the dry rocky terrain of the Hawaiian islands by decreasing the webbing on their feet.
Unlike many of the waterfowl that populated Hawaii before the arrival of humans, the nene retained their ability to fly, thus helping them evade predators once humans and their imported mammals settled on the islands. Today, one can find populations of nene on Maui at Haleakala National Park...you may find one but I never seen one on all my trips to Hawaii. In fact they have Nene Crossings and I would joke watch out for the "Nene"
