..... and long awaited!! It's been 4 years since I last saw one (almost to the day as well).
I got the news that one was still there when I arrived, but it had sailed off to the far end of the reserve. Kept an eye on the bog bean island in case he came back.
With all the raptor excitement, we must have missed him creep back in. Gus arrived and I told him the Garganey had gone walk-about, but he promptly spotted him fast asleep on the island!!!
Didn't half feel silly!
Sadly the best picture I got, he didn't wake up before I left.
