Ahhhhh! Look what I found down at Watermead. A Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) busy feeding on all the bread that has been thrown down for the swans. You could look at this way, these rats are clearing up after us. Who are the disgusting species really?
In another lake this Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) looked resplendent in his short no-nonsense winter plumage.
Another winter visitor is the Shoveler (Anas clypeata). Most of the time these are quite shy but can sometimes be caught by surprise.
