Hillside Open Day 08/08/10

The former Hillside Bird Oasis, owned by the same owners as Blackbrook but no longer open to the public most of the time. It was open last weekend as part of the National Gardens Scheme. Although the bird collection is reduced from its days as a full-on small zoo, the waterfowl collection is still very interesting (including Harlequin Ducks and Hartlaub's Ducks) and there is a very large breeding group of Lesser Flamingos.

What are the 2 ducks on the left of the picture with white faces and pink feet ?
 
Blue Snow Geese. A not too frequently seen colour form (in captivity that is) of Greater Snow Goose.

Sorry Pertinax, it's Lesser Snow that has the blue phase. Oddly enough, you also get blue Ross', but I don't believe there are Blue Greaters.
