Hard at work ...

practicing my bird identification skills.

I think this is a ring-billed gull:

Yellow eyes with red rims, black wing tips, yellow legs, ring around the bill.

And this would be an angry swan:

With a bone stuck in his throat. No wonder he's upset!

And a bittern:

Nose in the air.

Well, I never get to see a bittern, even when other people find them right where I've just been. So I may as well make do.
