Nikon P1000: Nature Notebook: Egleton Reserve, Rutland Water, 8.1.24

The first nature notebook of 2024. A typical January day in the UK, cold and grey, although the sun did break through once but a good selection of wildfowl were on view with a few other species.
Kit: Nikon P1000

Wonderful Graham, displaying true winter grit there. The 'pinwheeling' from the shoveler is a collaborative feeding strategy, they stir up matter then come back around and filter it whilst dabbling. Have seen groups of 20+ in one 'wheel' before but as yet I have still captured it myself. Fantastic watch, always a joy when a new NN lands 👌Si.

Loved the close ups which made me appreciate the plumage of the Gadwall in particular, a duck I have always described as a 'black ended duck'. the little Grebe was a favourite. Trust you are over your cold and await you Nature notebook. great start to 2024.

Wow, you captured quite a few different species Graham! At the beginning of January it is a lot more sparse here in the Netherlands! Nice movie. Piet
