Thought I’d see if the ring-necked duck was still at Kirkby on Bain, but it seems to have left. Not a lot going on today, but I did see the following: a buzzard in the pine trees off the reserve. Very long way away, so no photos. I could only really tell it was a buzzard when it flew off. Three whooper swans few across the reserve and I suspect found the gravel pits further down. There were the usual teal, mallard, coots, moorhens and little grebes. One water rail showed itself for about 30 seconds then went back into cover. Also, about 50 assorted gulls, mainly black headed, but included two herring gulls and four common gulls. A flock of about 40 lapwings appeared briefly.
Just before it was time to leave, a pair of shovellers appeared - chance of a quick photo!
