Another Whooper

One adult at Ringstone this morning, not on the water surprisingly but initially found dozing, then occasionally grazing in a large field to the west of the reservoir. It is the first time I have seen one grazing in the Calderdale area, all my sightings previously have been either in flight or on the water, so it was nice to see one looking reasonably relaxed in a moorland setting.



Great bird in a superb setting, beats supermarket car parks any day!

Couldn't agree more David. I don't particularly like birding by wandering the streets but needs must sometimes. The shot of the Whooper's head above the green grass is wonderful.
