Lisa Coleman’s Bird Weekly challenge this week is all about ducks and geese.
The Canada geese were photographed at Conwy nature reserve


as was the Shelduck. There are large numbers at the reserve between January and May, then they relocate further along the valley to nest.

I hadn’t seen eider ducks before but on a visit to Amble in Northumberland there were lots of them in the harbour. The first is the male, the second the female. They are seaducks, nesting around the northern English and Scottish coasts.


This little duck family were enjoying life on the river Avon


Wonderful collection of ducks. I’d love to see that Eider. 💜
