Some good birds there Ian, cant remember the last time i was there and its only along the road sounds a good spot that a few of us locals are guilty of not visiting anywhere near often enough.
Given the good variety of Ducks on the list I'm a little suprised there's no Wigeon on it.

Hi Ian, yes i would think there'd be a decent chance of one or two Wigeon there anytime now or maybe if we get some hard weather again this winter it might force a few birds to open water in place like that.
