Great one Snappy.

Aww that's lovely SM, not sure I have seen one before though

Thanks Linda, I am not sure when I have seen one.

Nice one Snappy. Not sure the last time I saw one, I've got a feeling it may have been last time I was in Weymouth, but didn't get a picture because were flying over and away.... or that could just be a mythological memory

Thanks PB, I wish I had recorded my sightings earlier...

A very handsome duck and a super photo.

I'm sure you had some at Welney, Snappy? Very pretty duck

Nice to see one awake but could you ask it to turn round next time so I can get a full view please, only seen a sleeping one this year at the Haugh
