6°C with 6/8 cloud and a strong westerly.
The adult drake Lesser Scaup and a drake Pochard were flushed off Winterset Res by the boats. Both relocated to Anglers CP. The Lesser Scaup was in the shallows in front of the hide, where it gave close up views.
Anglers CP: Black-necked Grebe 1, Dunlin 3, Turnstone 1, Common Sandpiper 2 + 1 WRes., Goosander 1 1st summer male, Teal 1 male, Cormorant 1 Greylag Goose 18, Great Crested Grebe 5,
Wintersett Res: Little Ringed Plover 1 on the slipway, Common Tern 16, Swallow 300, House Martin 90 + 150 ACP andSand Martin 50.
Cold Hiendley Res: A CUCKOO was calling.
Many thanks to Andy Deighton for these cracking shots of the Lesser Scaup. The nasal saddle is not pretty but this bird is making a huge contribution to science.
