Well I thought I'd give it one last go to try and avoid a blank month with regard to patch year ticks with a visit this lunchtime, but I failed. That being said there was still a drake Pintail in the north-east corner with the Wigeon flock and a pair of Gadwall were new in. The surprise find of the day came in the form of a Great White Egret halfway down the arm of the reservoir.
Now I know they are no longer the rarity they once were but I still get a lot of pleasure from finding one, especially on the patch. This one was originally on the near back but I guess I must've flushed it as it flew and landed in trees on the far side.
