Great couple of days , but only one addition - but its a goodie ! and will require Ash to go most days to try and get it back - the immortal TUFTED DUCK ! - There were 3 Drakes on Friday when i WALKED round the lake ;-) , I also had a WATER RAIL sharming by Smew arm and 4 Snipe and 2 Meadow Pipits on the Plain. 2 LITTLE GREBES were also at the end of the top inlet. Also took a few photos at the Abbey Paddocks.

Saturday and Sunday involved bootcamps around Lodge Lake - No sign of the Tufted Ducks ( they have never stayed into a 2nd day ) but 4 MUTE SWANS flew over ( 3 Adults and a juv )
Sunday had nothing of note
So 58 on 12th and still Green Woodpecker to fall ;-)
Cheers

Those Tufted duck could be anywhere!! I have time off coming up again from Wednesday so watch this space for my claw backs (Ok I've only seen one tufted duck there in 2 years but hey)
