Herding birds reminds me of herding sheep on a miniature scale. First we herded them into a corner, then Duane and Sparky caught them and handed them to us and Wayne put them in a crate.

The cape teal roundup
Today we moved some cape teal form the Field back into their area on the Grounds where there has been some work being done. The cape teal have been among my favorites for the last week; the gang of them always greeting me with a chorus of enthusiastic "tee hee!" when I climber over the fence into their pen.

Then they are loaded in a cart and driven to their enclosure.
Now they have lots of room. Can you see those little grey dots at the far end of the pond?

You look happy during the "roundup", Wainihawoman. Spring has sprung at Slimbridge, we see. . . and what an idyllic pond shot with the teal enjoying the waters.
