Wildlife at Attenborough nature reserve near Nottingham

 I recently visited Attenborough nature reserve, near Nottingham, with my camera. 

We were greeted at the entrance by a gaggle of hungry Canada geese, with a few Greylags and ducks for good measure.


A Common Tern was sitting on the edge of a tern raft in the lagoon in front of the visitor centre.


A female Mute Swan and a cygnet were sitting in algae-covered water.


A light-coloured female Mallard was standing in dark water near a weir.


Much to my delight, at the end of a long walk round the reserve, I saw a Great White Egret and a Little Egret standing together in one of the lakes.  It made my day!
