Goldeneye – 15th October

This morning two Goldeneye were seen on the Slurry Lagoon. Also seen were four Bearded Tits, two Swallows and a Bittern.

The Suspicious Wigeon remain that, as better views were obtained than yesterday.  On one the moulting flanks were showing grey, not the hoped for smokey pink.  It also showed an anomalous dark stripe on the crown of the head. The jury is still out on this pair.  PS.
