View Wildlife in Bradley Stoke - 19:25 to 20:05 on the 19th July 2009 in a larger map
The stormy weather meant that it was quiet in the reserve last night, as shown in the map above (click on the coloured icons in the map to see which birds were about - there is a different icon per bird).
This mute swan joined in with the ducks feeding on bread brought by vistors.
The ducks.....
The mallards were joined by a pair of farmyard ducks.
This plucky little youngster was in amongst the larger adults going for the bread, and would often dive in front of the older birds to get there first. He didn't show much fear or respect for his elders!
This duck family was asleep near one of the viewing platform areas, with the adult standing guard and keeping watch.
Thistles are coming to the end of their flowering all over the reserve. Here, one is being fed on by a bee type insect.
