No sign of the long-tailed duck this afternoon but plenty of other ducks; wigeon, tufted duck, shoveler and gadwall.

A couple of kingfishers, 9 snipe and a couple of drake mandarin ducks were the highlights of our breaks from working today - bonfire and snake survey recce for 2017.

Missed the long-tailed duck again but saw a lovely slavonian grebe.
Paul contacted me on Friday to say the long-tailed duck was still there but I couldn't get to see it because of family arriving for the wedding in the evening.

After everyone had departed after the wedding weekend I got my chance to follow up Paul's guidance and was rewarded with some excellent views of the long-tailed duck. The slavonian grebe was also still there and looked majestic, despite the rain and wind.
