Merganser sprint
Walking up the river today and was taking photos of this family of Merganser when a noisy gang of kids cycled past - the birds took off!
...so to speak - the chicks are still too young to fly.
I saw the same family later at the usual otter spot and was poised with camera ready as the birds approached - I thought I might get a shot of an otter attacking. But no - mamma bird saw the otter and they all fled - faster than in the photo as mamma actually took off! Otter pursued them briefly . Amazing to be able to see this a few minutes walk from home.
