Slimbridge Part Two- Mostly The Collection

So, as you may know, part one (HERE) concentrated mainly on the regular UK species at the Wetland centre, now here on part two, the more exotic birds, with most ID's provided by either a) my faulty memory, or b) Google Lens Smile

Pretty in pink

Rosy Billed Pochard

I didn't realise there were resident Bewick Swans, I think there were half a dozen or so about the reserve

Canvasback

Bufflehead

Knob Billed Duck

Possible Southern Pochard

Possible Orinoco Goose

Chloe Wigeon

There are three types of Flamingo, but I don't know which are which

There's something missing from the thread... hmm... ahhh.... AWWWww!!

Within the aviary were a pair of Smew

And a Black Tailed Godwit

Back outside the aviary, Black Necked Swan

And Coscoroba Swan (the smallest swan breed)

Another of the regal Bewick Swans

Very rare Hawaiian Nene Goose

More Pink action

Scaup (hybrid possibly?)

Neither me nor Google know this next one... when I took it I was thinking it was a juvenile Eider....

But he's under a spell, and reflections show the true size and shape of his head!

Redhead

As I said, it was me and Google doing ID's, so any corrections welcomed!!

Thanks for trawling through and well done on getting to the end!
