The Ferruginous Duck was showing again today so I decided to
make a visit and although it showed only intermittently, it did come out of the
reeds a few times but stayed distant. However it spent most of the time in the
reed bed out of site or partially hidden.
A lot of other ducks and geese around also Water Rail,
Curlew, Redshank, Common Snipe and a lot of Lapwing also noted.
We now have some info on the French ringed Blackcap that RB
caught and ringed back on the 5th Jan this year.

Michael Pocock having 3 Blackcap
visiting garden feeders (2♂,
1♀) and a male this
morning had yellow pollen on its face and the assumption is that it has been feeding on
the nectar of Mahonia flowers from a bush nearby.
