You did better than us Mandy! We visited Far Ings early afternoon and it was very quiet -though we did have 20+ Shoveler from Ness Hide. No sign of the drake Smew on either Ness or Hotel Pits. We also walked from Pit 25 to New Holland & back - about 5 miles round trip. Large numbers of Coot & Tufted Duck on the various pits along the way and the usual good counts of Ruddy Duck. No sign of Whooper Swans at New Holland, but 114 Redshank there. Roy. |

Hi Roy, I couldnt locate the drake Smew either though I was told it had been present on Hotel Pit early morning. Mandy |
