Abberton Resevoir

These pictures are from a visit to Abberton Resevoir a couple of weeks ago. Apologies for the quality of some but the distance and cropping compromises the 35mm to 135mm lens I have at the moment. I do believe and hope that MrsT has had a delivery from Wex Photo in time for Xmas and a new lens will be in a sack rather than a stocking?

There were thousands of ducks about but we couldn't spot the Ring Necked Duck but did manage a very distant view of the Little Auk thanks to someone with a scope and a couple of Scaup.

Quite a few Pochard about.

Which way, which way... where'd it go?

Straight ahead, don't loose sight.....

There were about 30+ Goosanders about, mainly keeping in a group, but further away so really pushing my max 135mm zoom. Come on Xmas

A good number of Goldeneye about but distant

At the further causeway the usual suspects expecting to be feed.

Then it was time for the visitor centre and a hot tea (the coffee is awful) to watch a Moorhen climb a bush to get to a feeder.
