Quacktastic. Mute swan, lazing Egyptian geese and a blonde standing Egyptian. #MillwallDock. #BirdsUK 🪶 🦢 🇪🇬 🪿
A vertical, eye-level shot captures three Egyptian geese and a white swan relaxing by a calm body of water. In the foreground, two Egyptian geese rest on a weathered wooden dock. The goose closest to the camera is positioned on the left side, showing its grayish-brown body, a distinct chestnut patch on its flank, a pinkish bill, and a dark brown patch around its eye. Next to it, a second goose sits tucked away. Behind them, a narrow wooden beam extends out over a blue cylindrical buoy. A third Egyptian goose stands balanced on one pink foot on top of this beam, looking toward the right. In the upper right background, a pure white mute swan floats gracefully on the dark, reflective water, preening its feathers with its neck curved tightly. The water mirrors the green and brown tones of the surrounding environment, creating a peaceful, rippled reflection across the surface.

Some sleepy ducks. The one at the back might be trying to be a bit frisky. Trying to be casual about it, anyway.
#BirdsUK #duck 🪶 #MillwallDock
Three ducks are resting close together on a sunlit, weathered dock beside deep blue water. Two male mallards with glossy green heads, yellow bills, chestnut-brown chests, and pale gray sides sit at the lower left and upper right, while a mottled brown female mallard rests between them slightly closer to the right side of the frame. All three birds are tucked low with their bodies rounded and their feet hidden beneath them, giving them a calm, settled appearance. The dock surface is rough and worn, with patches of faded paint, scratches, and small flecks of yellow and white. Along the upper left half of the image, the water reflects sunlight in rippling, wavy patterns that echo blues, blacks, and muted tan tones from nearby surroundings. The diagonal edge of the dock separates the textured brown surface from the smooth, reflective water, creating a strong line through the composition. Bright sunlight casts crisp shadows beneath the ducks and highlights the iridescent sheen on the males’ heads and the layered feather detail on the female’s back.

Two Canada 🇨🇦 Geese, a cormorant and a gull are playing “hide and seek” but I don’t think the gull knows the rules.
🪶 #BirdsUK #MillwallDock
A small group of waterbirds is resting on the edge of a wooden dock beside rippled grey water. Birds • On the left are two Canada geese, standing on the dock and bending their necks down to preen their feathers. • Just behind them stands a pale grey-and-white gull, facing slightly toward the water. • At the far right is a darker bird, likely a cormorant, hunched and perched on a bollard at the dock corner, also with its head tucked down. Setting • The dock surface is weathered wood with scattered debris and patches of green moss along the side. • A bright red buoy hangs in the water at the dock’s corner, adding a strong splash of colour against the otherwise muted tones of the scene.

Some gulls forming a line although these are not being particularly tidy. At least one didn’t get the seasonal plumage memo. #BirdsUK #MillwallDock 🪶
The photo shows a group of seagulls perched on weathered dock pilings beside a calm canal or waterway, captured in bright sunlight with reflections on the water. Several white birds with grayish wings and red bills and legs stand prominently on a green-and-white piling, while others float nearby or rest on adjacent blue and gray structures. Scene Details A metal railing and wooden platform border the water’s edge, with more seagulls scattered on posts and in the shallow water. The setting appears urban or harbor-like, typical for seagull gatherings on docks. Sunlight creates golden highlights and strong shadows, emphasizing the birds’ poses. Bird Identification These are likely herring gulls (Larus argentatus), common in coastal or inland waterways, identified by their white heads, gray backs, red-orange legs, and bills with red spots. The red bills and legs match adult winter plumage. They often perch on pilings for resting or foraging.

This poor #swan landed on the walkway next to the #MillwallDock and of course cannot take off or hop over the fence to get back in the water. The railings go as far in the other direction so it’s quite confused. At least me and other walkers gave it some room.
Hope it finds its way out. 🪶 #UkBirds
This image shows a single swan standing on a paved walkway beside a body of water, likely part of a canal or dock. The swan is facing left, with its neck curved downward. The walkway is lined with black metal railings and tall, modern-style lamp posts, creating a rhythmic perspective that draws the eye into the distance. In the background, there are some trees and residential buildings, giving the scene an urban waterside atmosphere.
