Yes, many thanks Robin. I just Googled White-cheeked Pintail and pictures seem identical. I guess it escaped from the captive duck area at the Wetland Centre.

It would be an escape if it was seen on the reserve's lake. The reserve also has a captive section - was the photo taken there?

There was one on the lake at Kelsey Park Beckenham where I live , until a few days ago when it left for pastures new. I wonder if its "our" duck?:eek!:
Since then the other day an Anas Georgica (yellow billed pintail/ South Georgia Pintail) has arrived and stayed so far.

It was seen on the Lake, not in the captive area, Paul. Maybe it is the Beckenham bird - I don't have a list of captive ducks at the Centre.
Cheers
