It was nice and sunny this morning as I had a walk around my village lido. Lots of lovely reflections on the water.
This is Wingy, the Canada goose who has become a celebrity in the village. Wingy has an injured wing due to a disease called angel wing. This condition causes a bird's flight feathers to twist as they grow. The feathers will then point away from the body instead of lying flat. If the disease is caught early, it can be treated. For many wild birds, however, early treatment can be difficult.
Wingy is monitored by a local animal sanctuary who came out to trim its wing to make it more comfortable. The villagers look out for it but it is quite independent. Such birds normally can't fly but I'm sure someone said Wingy can fly short distances.
We have a young great crested grebe visiting the lido. It's not very often you see them here so I had to pop down and see it for myself.
The lovely pochard is also coming and going. It obviously likes it here.
It is nice that people are back out enjoying the sunshine.
