A late start today but all was not lost - Rob Stokes had found a male Garganey first thing and whilst very mobile, feeding up like crazy, it was clearly going nowhere in a hurry. The light was better too!
I'll spare you the many distant images - here's the closer action.....
Never far from the weed, clearly full of dabbling goodies!
Time to move on to the next patch.......
Occasionally and very briefly in open water!
A quick wingflap.....
Followed by a rest on terra firma!
And a preen.....
Pick of the bunch threesome?
Maybe he's longing for a female? A quick fly over to Wall Farm would put that to rights!
The long staying female Garganey at Wall Farm....
