Well done Gary!

Some of the birds on your list are FAR MORE exciting than that grubby duck that so many of us have been to see there.....

Good Birding SE.

Hi Gary,

I went to Pennington myself yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't see either the Lesser Scaup or any of the Black Necked Grebes. Sounds like you had a good day.

The bunting hide was rather quiet when I visited - but popped into Pengie's Hide, which I normally don' bother with and saw a cracking male Ruddy Duck right out in the sunshine.

Little Ringed PLovers were very obvious too - I saw 7, mostly juveniles, so a good year for them.

Should be a few Green Sandpipers dropping in too - would love to get a decent photo of them but not had much luck so far.

Cheers.

Hi!

I was at pennington flash too a couple of weeks ago, it could have moved on, but did you see a hybrid goose there? If yes, have you any idea what its parents where?

There is a Bar-Headed Goose knocking around there, so Canada x Bar-headed at a guess.

I Did See The Bar Headed Goose,but I Just Thought It Was An Escapee.

Yep, it is! - I think Tony was wondering if it could be one of the parents of this hybrid thing that Kajrowe is asking about
