weather is crap constant rain wind
im in the mood to see birds ive not seen for years so of i head
southfield res
saw an american wigeon years ago here
parked just before the gate to sailing club and headed below the banking, lots of thrushes in the bushes mainly redwing but a few fieldfare
met a birder who told me the ring necked duck was present but fast asleep
so on a windy rainy day on somewhere you dont know how do you find a female ringed necked duck?
lots of ducks on the water,mallard a few tufted alone then a nice group of pochard. yep fast asleep but classic head shape and eyering
for some reason they love pochard
getting wet i headed down to blackoft
and finally great views of the white tailed plover, it was nice to see again but frustrating, i will help anyboby but a couple came into the hide the guy was keen on seeing the plover and went to ask people when his wife said whats this funny bird?
thats the plover i said
went to zerox hide and saw the plover fly in, but my best views over three visits
