Exotic in Abberton
23rd November 2020
Just before the last lockdown kicked in, was fortunate to find myself at Abberton Reservoir, late afternoon. With reasonably misty afternoon weather, which had been in place all day, there was a surprise in store, and once again I was the fortunate recipient of another persons excitement. Apparently, the reservoir was hosting a White Cheeked Pintail Duck, normally at home in exotic climbs in the Caribbean or Latin America, and quite at home along with various mallards, greylag and egyptian geese.
Having spotted the target, took a few photographs on the water, before the pintail gracefully decided to preen itself on the reservoir banking edge, providing a better image taking opportunity.
I guess it isn't often, something quite as exotic is spied in Abberton, or to have the opportunity to photograph too.
