GREEN WITH ENVY

The drake Green-winged Teal was still on show this Saturday and could usually be seen around the north island. No luck on Sunday though as most of the Teal were moved to the east side of the flash by the ice from last nights freeze.
A two hour wander around the 'figure of eight' produced 41 species which included a great bonus in the shape of a flyover flock of Pink-footed Geese. Several Lesser Redpolls were still zapping about but not the good numbers of previous years, need a good cold snap for a week or two.
A good selection of ducks with Shelduck, Gadwall, Wigeon, Teal, Mallard, Tufted and Shoveler.
Over on nearby Marston Pools there are a couple of Pochard so hopefully they'll come on over to the Flashes (a much nicer place).

Mr Green-winged Teal a patch first

Phone-scoped from the Old Hide (cheers for the scope Ian)
