Hi Alan
We saw 6 of the Red Crested Pochards - started off with 4 then a pair flew in c 4pm. There were 2 pale females in the winter - only one in the six that we saw.
Good about the goldeneyes
Kind Regards
Jacquie

Hi Jacquie
One of the pairs mated when we were there on Friday. Hope you saw the Red-C - Pochards as well , hopefully they will breed this year.

Hi Alan
it was also good to see ones of the goldeneye males trying to display but the females were too busy feeding late afternoon!
Kind Regards
Jacquie

Sorry spellcheck did something weird and I hadn't noticed initially
