I spotted a Chiloe Wigeon at Poolsbrook Country Park near Chesterfield Derbyshire are they rare?

Yes how do I get to you

You can just post them here, by clicking on the button "Attach files" and importing them from your disk. I'm just asking this because there are some hybrid types that look like Chiloe W and that may be interesting to see and discuss (if that's the case), especially by Joern (who is a specialist on hybrids).

There was a pair here in North Devon a few years ago - escapes from a local wildlife attraction we think. Stayed around for several months.
