I went back with my camera this morning and it turns out that it was a bird standing by its nest rather than one roosting that I saw yesterday - fortunately with a lot of zoom at my disposal and not having left the verge of the fairly busy road I can be confident that I didn’t disturb them as that would have been bad.
Edited because I forgot the important tag #NotADuck

Excellent day at WWT London Wetland Centre yesterday. Local moaned there “wasn’t much about” while I was thrilled by the variety showing well. So what if peewits were the only waders in evidence and while there were many other herons the bittern didn’t show? Familiarity breeds contempt I guess.
Good views of sandmartins going in and out of their holes, a little egret stirring the water to fish, and photographing a kingfisher, were highlights.
Being unable to get photos to upload from my computer is annoying, so here’s a photo of my camera showing one of the photos of a kingfisher…#LowCarbonBirding #UrbanBirding #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Birding #BirdPhotography #Kingfisher #AlcedoAtthis #NotADuck

Birding walk this morning (new hat working well) and I failed to think of getting my camera out for the deer, but here are some hares, a red kite and a fieldfare. None of which are ducks.

Excellent sentiment: “the opportunity to see geese is more important than television” (Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac)…
…though I have to add that a goose is but a clumsy, oversized, wannabe duck.

Rather than ducks it is #TwoDeerTuesday thanks to Sunday’s visit to the marsh.

The #WednesdayWaterbird is a #HerringGull - I hope it is having a good day today. Also #NotADuck

Merry Christmas everyone - here, have a stereotypically featured Christmas bird. It is #NotADuck
-
Fancypants new camera. It does a lot of zoom - the #Starlings and #CollaredDove are in both photos!
They are #NotDucks.

Visited #WWTWelney today, where I saw about 30 #CattleEgrets alongside the cows while drinking my tea in the cafe. Then saw a #GreatWhiteEgret in the reeds from the main hide. Finally, walking around Lady Fen I saw a couple more #GreatWhiteEgrets mixed in with the #CattleEgret - clearly distinguishable by the huge size difference (pictured). Don’t be taken in just because they’re near cows!
Also, they are #NotADuck

The #WeekendWaterbird is a #SundaySwan. I don't know why it is #NotADuck today, but it is. I'm not sure if it is eating, drinking, or washing its bill.

I'm not sure how this happened, but the #WeekendWaterBirds turn out to be #Geese, not #Ducks at all...

Oh look, a tree full of #Dinosaurs. Cormorants make it pretty blatant what birds really are. Don’t be fooled, they’re prehistoric and awesome.

Here’ something different for this week’s #WednesdayWildfowl - this is a #BlackWingedStilt at #RSPBFrampton on my other recent #birding trip on 29 July. They’re faintly ridiculous, but also quite cool.

Today’s #SundaySwan (front) is under age so has to bring a parent or guardian.
