Hi All
I'm gradually becoming more interesting in bird watching and beginning to take a little more notice of whats around me. I spotted these two on the Thames at Richmond yesterday and would like to know what they are.
First bird was significantly bigger than a duck but a little smaller than the Canada geese around. It was also diving.
Second is obviously a black swan of some kind but I was kind of surprised to see one on the Thames.
Any suggestions for a good starter book for identification of British Birds would be welcome too.
Thanks
Bob.
