Poole Park, Dorset, 2026

Poole Park is a Victorian park beside Poole Harbour with a large boating lake that draws a good spread of wildfowl. Greylag and Canada geese, mute swans, mandarin ducks, mallards, pigeons and a mix of gulls were all working the lake and its banks, giving everything from close portraits and bathing to mid-air wing-flaps and splashes.
