Wigeons in flight on the Exe

[Chocky]

Here are some Wigeon ducks that have been spooked and have taken to the air.
I don't know what spooked them I didn't see but I do knoew her is an Osprey and a Peregrine in the area. Ta one instance the sky was blackened over a good part of the Exe with Wigeons and mallards there were so many I couldn't fit half of them in a frame.
Oh and Wigeons have Blue beaks and black feet as opposed to mallards (larger duck) having orange beaks and feet

Thanks Rolf.
I was pleased. I wish I had seen what spooked them I wasn't quick enough to think of retracting my lens to get a fuller sky. I was gob smacked at the amount of aquatic birds in the sky.
