red crested pochard
March 21 weather has been a bit of a wash out and to make it worse i had to work as well. So after lunch decided to skive off and pop down to my local spot. Missed out on a smew a fortnight ago but today made it all better. Arrived at Bolton on swale N.R got settled in the hide and started scanning. Curlew;oystercatcher;lapwing;cormorant;grelags;canadas;mute swan;teal pochard;wigeon;coot;moorhen;shelduck;mallard;ruddy duck;tufted duck;little grebe;great crested grebe;and the icing was a wonderful male red crested pochard. So it just goes to show you think your having a bad day and blam one lucky spot and its all forgotten about. Happy birding.............
