Day 18.277: Big Sit: ducks and kingfishers

Some more birds from our all-day adventure on Saturday.

Funnily enough, one of the first birds we heard were some geese moving near the river around first light, but we only saw one all day as far as I know.

We saw a number of fly-bys from groups of ducks - all mallards as far as we could tell

We did later identify some American black ducks on the water at the river's edge, but out of decent photographic range

We had two belted kingfisher sightings (possibly the same bird). This one gave us a nice fly-by after we'd identified it at a distant

Later, this one was perched here at the far side of the marsh for quite a while, occasionally doing fishing sorties before returning to this perch,

Another mallard fly-by
