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

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

Nope, the last visit to Welney was a bit quiet.
