WINTERSETT RESERVOIR
First an apology;- anyone who travelled to see the 'lesser scaup' reported last Wednesday and Thursday well sorry ,it wasn't one. New information has come to light and it seems the underwing pattern is not diagnostic of that species and it looks like it was simply a juvenile Tufted.
Onto merrier things;- the American Wigeon drake is still present, a fine drake Smew was on the top res in the morning but couldn't be found in the afternoon and a drake Pintail was on the park lake. The gull roost was pleasantly surprising tonight on the top res with 40 GBBG, 220 Herrings, 10 LBBG and about 6,000 Black-heads present. This is a vast increase on last weekend and also on the last few Decembers; hopefully it will continue.
