WWT London: Nēnē Whispering

More colourful and textural in large.
Alternative: Demoiselle Dancer

Another wonderful WWT visit, in spite of the low light and grey weather...
*Sigh* 
How to choose?! This was most different from usual (and references the funny feeding frenzy we arrived to), but I narrowed it down to about 25 blip possibilities, not to mention all the others that I uploaded to Flickr. The closest contenders were a Bewick's swan portrait, the demoiselle cranes flapping and up close, the nēnēs lined up and hand feeding, the fulvous tree ducks flapping and flappy-dancing (one of many series...), or the iridescence of the white-winged ducks or buffleheads.
I'd ruled out the emperor geese from the outset, but they were on their usual adorable form (nibbling on a photographer and his gear today...), and a white-fronted goose gave them a run for their money on the cuteness front.

The others are all here (or right from Nēnēs on mound)
