It is fairly easy to distinguish the male swan or COB from the female swan the PEN. The large black fleshy lump at the base of the bill is much larger and more pronounced on the male, this can be called the "berry". The male's tail is also wider and more fanned out, whereas the Pen's comes to a single point. This difference is not so obvious in this photo.

Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata)

Birds have up to 25,000 feathers, and regular preening keeps each one of those feathers in top condition. Preening is a bird's way of grooming its feathers to keep them in the best condition. While preening, birds remove dust, dirt, and parasites from their feathers and align each feather in the optimum position relative to adjacent feathers and body shape. Most birds will preen several times a day to keep themselves healthy.

The PiP shows this Muscovy duck conditioning its plumage.

The curlew is the largest European wading bird, instantly recognisable on winter estuaries or summer moors by its long, down-curved bill, brown upper-parts and long legs.

The Aston Locks Nature Reserve project is ongoing and we visit it almost weekly. It is adding to a global need for wetlands to support
wildlife across the Globe
• Globally wildlife is under huge threat from climate change and habitat loss. Fresh water ponds
like these are essential habitats.
• Water supports a huge variety of plants and animals.
• These man-made ponds have been made to work like natural ponds. Different parts of these
ponds provide the right conditions for different plants and animals to live. These are called
habitats.
• Many different plants and animals live in each habitat, their role or job in that habitat is called
their niche.
• All these habitats and niches combine to create a wetland that is rich in wildlife.

This is the first grey wagtail we have seen here. As you can see it is perched on a new bit of fencework. The environment is perfect here, at the side of the canal with canal runoffs providing moving water, and lots of wild life now coming into the area. The project is running behind because of Covid, but it is ongoing.
