Mandarin Duck - Spurn 316

Quickly brushing over the provenance issues, I made it down to Kilnsea Wetlands to finally add this species to my Spurn List. John Hewitt and Ian Smith were present in the hide and they gave me the good news that the bird was showing off the spit. I "grabbed" a record shot and had a chat about tonight's game before the bird drifted out of sight behind the spit...

I must admit that driving past Birders in Easington waiting for the ORIENTAL/RUFOUS TURTLE DOVE was er...different! Priorities. The purple patch continues...


ALBERT has departed North but hopefully he/she will return after its wanderings. My last view on Monday morning, again through the vegetation from the path...
