Nice to get out early doors this morning & catch up once again with the much-enjoyed long-staying red-crested pochard at Ropner Park with my Son @jamsnature.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

🙂 thank you

Thanks Dad. All the love for Ducks!

It's a magical location, thank you

May I ask where in cowpen Bewley please? I'm local and would love to see it on local patch.

Agreed :)

Ah this one is just the common I believe. Only got the one photo as there was cormorants everywhere

There’s usually a good handful of them on the marina. Pretty much every time I’ve been down that way, I’ve seen them. Yes that one’s face stood out more than the others that’s for sure

Certainly was. This was in the Marina at Hartlepool

Moments of calm with the Cormorant
