Never mind, I gave it another couple of hours to see if anything dropped in? Nothing did, apart from a male Kestrel in the nearby Trees....
That was it I thought, as it flew off?
Only to ponce on something unseen on the ground - a huge leatherjacket like grub!
The next development was another surprise - I saw the male duck as a female flew in - landing on an adjacent branch!
What a sight - the male calling softly to the female as they sat there for several minutes. A couple of representative shots - not much variety as they sat swaying on the breeze!
Plenty of common birds being very obliging this weekend but where's the next rarity coming from.....
