- I arrived early for work at Weir Wood Reservoir (Tuesday is voluntary conservation work day) so that I could get some birdwatching in before the 09.30 start time. I had a target list of 6 birds for the 2019 year list but incredibly I managed to see none of them.!
- As I was driving home I received a text from Alastair and another from Matt about a Ring-necked Duck at West Rise Marsh. After a rushed lunch I headed down to the outskirts of Eastbourne to the site in question. I walked to the far side of the lake to view the ducks with the sun behind me. After a while I spotted the likely suspect. Soon Gareth and Bridget arrived and confirmed my sighting.

- As well as the Ring-necked Duck I added Canada Goose to my year list today.
- Not a bad day - finally!
- Thanks to Alastair, Matt and Gareth - I'm so lucky to have 3 of the finest young birders in Sussex looking after my interests.
