A quaking welcome This duck stood as the official greeter (or guard, or just busking) at the Middleton Lakes nature reserve, which conveniently has a canal running through it. The duck just watched us.
Seen at Middleton Lakes nature Reserve during our 2015 canal trip.
The Kiss A tender moment between two grey herons. She has been sitting on the eggs. He returns to the nest. She stretches her neck and they stroke beaks for a few seconds. Then he sits down on the eggs and she takes off to find a meal. Seen in Vienna.
