A
Around
the
the
pond,
we
often
see
coot
and
moorhen.
These
are
two
birds
which
are
quite
dark
in
color,
but
it's
quite
easy
to
tell
them
apart.
The
coat
has
got
a
white
bake
and
a
white
shield
on
the
front
of
its
face
and
the
mirror
hen
has
got
a
red
beak
and
the
red
goes
up
the
front
of
its
face.
Also,
these
two
birds.
While
they
live
in
the
water,
they
don't
have
webbed
feet.
A
They've
got
flaps
of
skin
on
their
toes
to
help
them
swim
through
the
water,
but
their
toes
are
not
joined
up
like
the
toes
of
the
mallard.
When
these
birds
are
swimming,
they
have
to
try
a
little
bit
harder.
So
quite
often
you
see
them
nodding
their
head
as
they
swim
every
time
they
move
one
leg
or
the
other
leg
they
sort
of
nod
their
head.
A
B
When
we
go
out
bird
watching,
we
bring
our
binoculars,
and
this
helps
us
to
see
the
birds
that
are
a
little
bit
further
away
when
we're
using
them.
We
must
be
careful
not
to
look
directly
up
at
the
sun
and
don't
walk
while
you're
looking
into
your
binoculars
and
always
remember
just
keep
them
around
your
neck
when
you're
using
them.
A
A
Inside
we've
got
a
few
other
birds
that
you
see
around
lochney
and
sometimes
around
the
pond
at
the
lochner
discovery
centre.
The
birds
we
have
in
front
of
us
are
all
parts
of
our
taxidermy
collection.
These
are
birds
that
had
died
and
a
person
called
a
taxidermist
was
able
to
preserve
their
skin.
So
we
have
them
here
with
all
their
original
feathers
and
colours
so
that
we
can
get
a
close-up
look
at
them
and
all
of
their
different
plumage.
A
This
is
a
good
opportunity
to
look
at
the
differences
in
their
beaks
and
their
feet
and
how
they're
adapted
to
the
different
places
where
they
live
and
the
foods
that
they
eat.
The
first
bird
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
this
one
here.
This
is
the
grey
heron
and
it
is
seen
very,
very
often
around
the
edge
of
loch
ness
and
it's
quite
a
tall
bird.
We
often
see
it
standing
amongst
the
tall
vegetation
waiting
to
catch
its
prey.
It's
got
long
legs.
This
is
quite
a
small
one.
A
A
A
The
kingfisher
will
perch
on
a
small
branch
and
wait
for
watch
the
water
looking
for
a
little
fish.
Then
it
will
dive
down
into
the
water
grab
those
little
sticklebacks
and
be
back
up
again,
all
in
less
than
two
seconds
very,
very
fast
and
agile.
We
bird.
If
you
look
at
its
feet,
even
though
it
lives
near
water,
it's
got
very
small
claw-like
feet
for
perching
on
the
stems
of
the
of
the
plants.
A
When
we
were
using
our
binoculars,
we
could
look
out
onto
lochnay
and
we
were
able
to
see
many
many
ducks
out
on
the
water
as
the
winter
progresses.
We'll
find
we'll
see
more
and
more
of
these
birds
here.
These
are
tough
to
duck,
and
these
are
a
bird
that
migrates
to
lochne
during
the
winter
months.
A
These
birds,
they
live
out
on
the
water
and
they're
well
adapted
for
that
habitat
they've
got
webbed
feet.
You
can
see
them
nice
and
clearly
here
and
they've
got
lovely,
lovely
soft
feathers
which
again
keep
them
warm
and
keep
them
waterproof.
A
This
is
the
male
tufted
duck
here
on
this
side,
and
you
can
see
it's
got
a
little
tufty
bit
on
the
back
of
its
head
and
the
female
just
like
the
mallard
is
less
brightly
colored.
This
one
is
mostly
brown
in
color,
dark
brown,
light
brown
with
a
little
tiny
patch
of
white,
and
the
reason
why
female
birds
are
like
that
in
the
bird
world.
It's
the
female
birds
that
have
to
sit
on
the
nest
and
look
after
the
young
ducklings.
A
So
it
helps
if
they've
got
less
bright
coloring
and
it
keeps
them
better
better
camouflaged.
These
tufted
ducks
are
both
they're,
diving
birds
and
they
will
dive
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
lock
to
feed
on
little
creatures.
Like
the
pond
snails
for
these
birds,
their
legs
are
further
back
in
their
bodies
than
the
mallard
duck
and
that's
to
help
them
whenever
they're,
underneath
the
water,
when
they're,
diving
underneath
the
water,
their
little
legs
go
out
behind
them
and
they
act
like
a
little
propeller
at
the
just
like
a
propeller.
A
Would
at
the
back
of
a
boat,
they've
got
curved
bakes,
which
is
good
for
handling
the
wee
insects,
and
it
also
helps
when
they're
trying
to
scoop
up
their
food
from
from
the
water
just
think
of
it
like
eating
soup.
You
wouldn't
use
your
knife
and
fork
to
eat
soup
you're
going
to
use
the
spoon,
so
the
spoon
spoon-shaped
beaks
that
these
birds
have
do
help
them.
Whenever
they're
feeding
in
the.
