A slight detour on the way home and I stopped off at Forde Abbey to scan the main lake. Being tight-fisted I didn't want to pay to get in so 'scoped the lake from the road. As it happened, that was fine, and within about ten minutes I had seen two pairs of Mandarin, my only Gadwall of the day, and the two drake Ring-necked Ducks that had been around for a few days. I knew they were still present as the guys had seen them earlier this morning whilst I was at Dawlish Warren. A good end to the day and I was home in time for a late lunch.
UK list for 2012 now at 81 species.
