Willey; 0840h, a male Redstart along top fence line. Earliest I had at Willey.
Lilbourne Meadows; morning
Rather quiet, two Little Egrets, three Green Sandpipers and a Little Ringed Plover.
Shawell Sandpit/landfill; morning.
The Egyptian Geese family still together, now well grown into juvs. Four Lapwings, a drake Teal and two drake Pochard with then Tufted and Mallards. a Grey Heron.
whilst scanning through the ducks I spotted a reddish-brown duck with a grey bill swimming towards me, although distantly, when it turned sideways I could see white under tail coverts. A Ferruginous Duck.
Despite the bright sunshine and distance I had reasonable views before I lost it, further I had not got my digiscope adapter with me. I returned after lunch but could n ot find it.
I looked again, 2000h, and found the bird again, again awful light and distant but managed a few record shots. Hopefully better tomorrow.
