Kiltonga Wildlife Reserve- (Part 3)

 More images as my bird class and I walked round the lake at Kiltonga Wildlife Reserve.  Below is a Robin, the next image is a cat what was not for going away and was intent of trying to catch some ducklings. I had quite some task dissuading it.



Moorhen



Back again to the start with all the gulls on the fence and below you can see a male Mallard duck that has already started going into eclipse plumage.



However I could not finish without showing you this beautiful new sculpture they have added to the lake.



I hope you enjoyed seeing some more shots of the things we saw as we walked round the lake.

 Many thanks for visiting and also to those who leave comments.

    How I love to see a "real" English robin, Margaret! I loved the male Mallard's eclipse plumage. I hope that cat doesn't succeed in eating a duckling. Greetings Jo

    I do love that sculpture. And, much as I love cats, I hope you permanently convinced the cat that it really doesn't like duck. Or ducklings.

    fabulous photos, gosh I am so envious of your class members! I've seen a similar bronze swan like this I wonder if it is from the same artist. :-)

    Good work in seeing off the cat Margaret. They can do an awful lot of damage to many creatures, not just birds.

    Hi Margaret. Still having trouble with my eye, but am trying to comments at least once a week anyway. Love your photos today (and everyday). That sculpture is fabulous!

    Kiltonga sounds like it ought to be in Africa! All our mallards here are now looking very very drab.

    Love the beautiful sculpture Margaret. Great photos as always. We are getting far too many visits from cats in our garden - I have a horrible feeling someone has moved in close by who has several of them - constantly chasing them away from the bird feeders and the pond (they chase the frogs :( ).

    Hi Margaret,
    I loved the photos of the birds and the naughty kitty.
    I find it hard to control our own Black Kitty.
    I know he has downed at least one bird last week.
    Nothing one can do.
    We have 3 big, noisy brass bells on him and he sounds like a kitty fire engine, but the squirrels stir-up chaos and the birds are victimized. We love the birds and BK.
    That's that...
    Have a Wonderful Day!
    Peace :)

    That's a great sculpture. Glad you were able to deter the kitty from the ducklings--for the time being, anyway. I love those little robins!
