I'd probably better duck out, since I'm heading off up to Norfolk tomorrow morning, so won't be posting or checking here much. Happy for someone else to go for it!

Probably a good idea!

Larry- Redhead has occurred, at least once I think but its an extreme rarity (and care has to be taken to eliminate other hybrids). Ferruginous Duck is regular european species and occurs infrequently in Britain (annually and at least a couple wintering in recent years I believe).

Anyone else want to start a new one off?
