Taken at 'The Pool' in Melbourne, South Derbyshire.
Not been out and about much recently, due to the rain and COVID restrictions, so as today was going to be quite sunny for the morning at least we went to one of our local patch sites on the Leicestershire/Derbyshire border. for our birding walk.
We had the place to ourselves till around 11:30 when it got a little busier, so we left with lots of shots in the can
Some trees are still refusing to let go of their colorful leaves; The Pool in Central Park, Nov. 15, 2020.

The light was poor, and this bird was feeding near the overflow the shadiest part as well.
At first glance you would id it as a female, but I thinks it's a first winter male in moult. The crimson coloured bill put me on to it.
Most ducks have sexual dimorphism, were the female plumage is totally different to the male, with juveniles having female plumage until there first moult, when they start to display gender specific plumage, in some species this can take a number of moults to achieve

Let's breathe and look at some Canada geese while we await the results of the American elections and the fate of the world; The Pool in Central Park.
by Jen Lewin Studio
"Giant concentric rings of touch-sensitive circular pads create an interactive environment like a huge playground. Whirlpools of light, colour and movement are created as you run, jump, step or hop onto the pads. Either alone or in groups, you can create mesmerising patterns of swirling and fading colours as you shift weight on The Pool’s pads or move from one pad to another"

Haven't managed to get out this week so far, so after checking the weather forecast last night, we decided a local trip was in order.
These were taken at 'The Pool ' Melbourne on the border of Leicestershire and South Derbyshire. Prime purpose being to re find the Drake Wood Duck we saw at a distance last week, unfortunately we didn't as checked over 2/3 of the way round, the last third was too muddy and we were slipping al over the place. but it did enable us the get these shots.
Again had the place to ourselves until about 11:30, the light was going so we left.

I have come across this bird/type before, at Thornton Reservoir in Leicestershire on the 26th April 2021, it only stayed a day, it wasn't there the following day when we looked for it again.
You can imagine my surprise when walking back to the car I observed it getting out of the water following a male Tuftie.
I took many shots of it (I only got two at Thornton) to provide evidence of ID.
The Pool is around 9 miles away (as the duck flies) from Thornton, although they are in different Counties.
Today was our first hike in the National Park. I took my father on one of the hikes that I did last year, only we only traveled the first 1/3rd of the trail that I covered. I think I inadvertently almost did him in on the first hike- but to be fair he didn’t tell me that he didn’t sleep almost at all the night before (that happens sometimes with changes in elevation).
We made it to The Pool on the Fern Lake trail, and then we made our way back. I was happy my father made it there and back again, but grew very concerned that he wouldn’t be able to make much more happen on the trip after today.

Fern Lake Trail, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Near the beginning of a final hike into the Odessa Gorge, this time climbing from the bottom of the gorge upward to Odessa Lake. The Fern Lake Trail initially follows the Big Thompson River. The Pool is located 1.7 miles from the trailhead. Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.

El río Mersey es un corto río costero de la vertiente del mar de Irlanda del Reino Unido que transcurre por el noroeste de Inglaterra y tiene una longitud total de 113 km. El nombre procede de la palabra anglosajona Mǽres-ēa que significa «río de la Frontera», ya que durante siglos formó la frontera entre los condados de Lancashire y Cheshire y es probable que también lo hubiera sido entre los reinos anglosajones de Mercia y Northumbria.
El Mersey se forma en Stockport por la confluencia de tres pequeños ríos: el Etherow (30 km), el Goyt y el río Tame (40 km), en especial el Tame y el Goyt. Después pasa cerca de Didsbury, Stretford, Urmston, Flixton e Irlam, donde el río se integra en el canal navegable de Mánchester, que hasta ese momento es la canalización del río Irwell. Desde ese lugar hasta Rixton (cerca de Warrington), el Mersey ha quedado desdibujado totalmente por el canal; en Rixton, el río Bollin desagua en el canal por el sur y el Mersey deja el canal por el norte, describiendo amplios meandros por Woolston y Warrington. En Howley Weir, en Warrington, el río ya sufre el efecto de las mareas y luego se ensancha al salir del pueblo, discurriendo cerca de Runcorn y Widnes y de nuevo se ensancha hasta formar un estuario que tiene unos tres kilómetros de ancho; finalmente se estrecha un poco entre Birkenhead y Liverpool antes de desembocar en la bahía de Liverpool en el mar de Irlanda.
El estuario del Mersey es accesible a barcos de todo tipo.

The River Mersey is a river in North West England. It is around 70.33 miles (113 km) long, stretching from Stockport in Greater Manchester, to Liverpool Bay. For centuries

The Pool is a small pond in the Northern Section of New York's Central Park. It's a moderately popular tourist destination, but this time of year, when it's cold and in the early morning, it is a tranquil place. This image has minimal editing on Capture One Pro Ver. 12.
Enjoying the late afternoon Autumn glow, the Northern Shoveler stretches at The Pool in Central Park, New York City.
The aptly named Northern Shoveler has a shovel-shaped bill that quickly sets it apart from other dabbling ducks. It is a medium sized duck that tends to sit with its rear a bit higher out of the water almost like its bill is pulling its front half down.
Breeding male shovelers are bold white, blue, green and rust, but their notable feature is their white chest and white lower sides. Female and immature shovelers are mottled in brown and have powdery blue gray on the wings that is sometimes visible on resting birds. Their very large orange bill is their most notable field mark.

Thisis my last upload from the Flume Gorge area. The foreground is a formation called "The Pool", which is apparently quite deep. Across the ravine in back is the Sentinel Pine Covered Bridge.
This shot is one of those times when I looked on the LCD after taking it and just had this "wow" reaction. I waited for the sun to go behind a cloud, and what you see here is only a little bit different from what happened. I was really amazed. Hardly any areas came out white or black, which means I was left with solid details when it came to processing. Good photographer? No, just dumb luck I get from time to time.

Taken at 'The Pool' in Melbourne, South Derbyshire in not very good light, but wanted to see what had arrived since our last visit a couple of weeks ago.
We were expecting to see Goosander, which we did, but not in the numbers we expected.

Common Crossbill is a common bird of the pine woods of Northumberland but a bird that we rarely see well. However, in hot weather, they need to drink and there is a different availability of water in the sun-parched mountains of Catalunya compared to Keilder.
The Photo Logistics hide over a drinking pool in the mountains north of Solsona proved a fantastic spot to get close to the species. Several flocks made recurrent visits to thepool allowing ample opportunity for every sort of photo.

Great White Egret gets into territorial dispute with the Black Crowned Night Heron at The Pool in NY Central Park. Manhattan, hot prime properties, no less!
New York City is such an amazing place, didn't occurs to me that I would see so many wildlife (birds) in Central Park, specially in the migration seasons. It is also rare instances that I have seen these 2 in such close proximity.
