Made it over to Duff for 1 and an afternoon session in the sun...and out of the wind!
The main drive was to wait for the Wild Swans which would hopefully come into roost from the fields opposite. 2 Bewick's Swans were with the Whoopers. I finally managed to find some Gadwall (37) and Redshank (38). The afternoon passed without further sightings of note and as it approached 5 I was definitely in "expectant mode".
Alas it was a "no show"? Maybe they come in after dark or roost elsewhere. Significant compensation was had in the form of 3 Marsh Harriers (39) giving a 20 minute show before descending into the vegetation...

...plus a distant Barn Owl (40). 5 Shelduck (41) also materialised from...somewhere!
A day out with Haydn tomorrow and another attempt for LSW...
