Sightings 17 January 2006

17 January 2006 At WWT Slimbridge the first winter Greater Scaup was again in the European enclosure with four captive adults. I had to visit the Cotswold Water Park today leading a duck identification session. On Pits 44 and 57 at least four redhead Smew and eight Goosander were present along with about 50 Ruddy Duck, 40 Shoveler and 50 Red-crested Pochard. MJM.
