North Duffield Carrs

 

The water level are still dropping and access to garganey hide is better, even though the floor is still slippy and there is rubbish from the recent flood on the ledges.

Various strips of land above the water level, this one was occupied by geese, mostly Canada geese,

including these 2 "granadas"!

Several pintail about, this is the closest thta one came to the hide.

Goldeneye were also present but again keeping their distance.

At the far end of the reserve I saw 2 male scaup, my 3rd year tick of the visit. On my way back to the car, I disturbed a small flock of linnets, year tick number 77.
