    Thank you Dave... I must learn both Female, Male and Juvenile, so it is trickier IDing Birds than I thought ;)

    Update... I have spotted Domestocted Mallard in recording at *BirdTrack* So I think I record it as this instead of Unidentified or Hybrid Duck ?

    Water ~ freezing

    Thank you Dave ~ I did not know about the Mpemba Effect... I thought the boiling water seemed to go cold quick ! The link to the RSPB advice page as given me a couple of ideas... I can do two methods: A. dethaw *ice* with boiling water then add cool water to stop Mpemba Effect or B. Plastic...

    Water ~ freezing

    I'm finding that I need to change the freezing water twice a day... I'm using boiling water to defrost the frozen water in the stone bird bath and make sure it cools to hand warm... which does not take long, but twice a day as it freezes again ! But I will be at work and can not do twice daily...
