Shawell sandpit; morning.
I went to have another look at the Ferruginous Duck, and surprise, surprise, there was two, a female and juvenile.
BUT, it did not stop there - going back late afternoon/evening and hoping for some photo opportunities (the light and distance have not been good so far) and with Carl present too we watched the two from this morning. They eventually swam to the far corner and were resting, when Carl said 'I think I have found another' sure enough close by another bird was resting. We could see all three together, so were not mistaken.
The birds do not show any signs of hybridisation and will be submitted to the BBRC.
