Had my another trip over to Barnes last Sunday, but the light was dull so (mostly) I targeted some of the captive birds for a change.
There were about 4 pairs of Egyptian Geese and all were incredibly noisy!
A Preening Pas de Deux.
Now what this is I do not know and I couldn't find any information about it. It looked strictly black and white until, for a brief moment, the light caught the colour in its head. I was very surprised!!
Edit: My thanks to Chris for the identification of a
Male Bufflehead
And that's is for this post... just a brief one for now but some Autumn Colour to follow in the next one.....

Hi Tricia,
Your last black and white guy is a male bufflehead! Well done on this one.... You got a very ncie post despite the dull light! The american wood duck is beautiful but the hooded merganser is one of my favorite!
Chris.. many thanks and thanks also for the ID of Male Bufflehead. The hooded mergansers are amazing-looking birds eh :D
Cracking shots Tricia.
I fell in love with those Hooded Merganser when I came down; easy to see why, those pictures are excellent.
Oh Wow! I've never seen an American Wood Duck, how pretty is that! Thank you for sharing xx
All your photographs are beautiful.
