In 2009 I spent 5 days on a boat on the Thames to the west of London. I estimate I saw over 400 of these birds during that time. They are very noisy in the morning.<br /><br />Seems there's possibly going to be a campaign to remove them as they are reckoned to be seriously usurping the habitat and food sources of some of our native birds.<br /><br />They are. however, spectacular birds to see, as your super images show!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-5805945928631140652012-12-12T20:01:11.324+11:002012-12-12T20:01:11.324+11:00Beautiful bird!
