Evening surprise

15 March 2010
The Green Sandpiper still present this evening.

And then some sort of blob resembling a duck also on the waterlogged field, of course it had to be a Mallard, but wait a minute, it looks a bit small, quick check through the scope and there it was a Teal ! I couldn't believe it, just the other side of the fence.

......and then to round the day off, one of the local Muntjacs popped in to have a look (obiously needed Teal on it's list) .

Ok none of these pics will win any awards, but it's a way off and most importantly it's just behind the house. I'm made up !
