Garganey at Maple Lodge

I visited early morning after working a night shift and discovered parts of the reserve cloaked in light fog. From Rotunda Hide I heard my first Willow Warbler of the year. Making my way to the Shell Hide I sat quietly for a while watching the Common Pochard jostling amongst themselves. All of a sudden from the left a duck flew past heading down towards the Sluice Hide. Clearly marked was the diagnostic pure white superciliam of a wonderful male Garganey, my first for the year. I made my way down towards the Sluice Hide but could not find the bird again. Leaving the reserve I hoped that others might see the bird today.
