I am on a short break from work and today I had a lovely visit to Martin Mere.
It was only 3pm but the sun was setting.
Martin Mere is one of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trusts reserves and is well worth a visit.

Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna)
Eider (Somateria mollissima)
I have loads of images to sort through and hopefully find some more worth sharing.

All three of those ducks are great!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
The WWT has got lots of good birds. Your shots are tremendous.
Hi Andrew,
Lucky you. I love Eider ducks, their call is quite unique!

A beautiful sunset - or were you up with the birds and it's sunrise? The Eider is so very pretty with the brush of pearl pink and the shellduck also very unique in colourings. I don't recall ever seeing these varieties here in Australia. Excellent captures.

Beautiful sunset scene, Andrew! I love the ducks and the eider. Happy SKywatching!
really beautiful sky, but then the ducks were amazing too! :)
The ducks are so cute, and that afternoon sky is just stunning! Days are really short now.
Those Duckies sure are beautiful.
A good haul for the day. The Eider is great but there isn't a bad one.
