Exotic Wildfowl at Ferry Meadows

A pair of Red-crested Pochard and two 'redhead' Smew have been gracing Lynch Lake. I popped in for a look, although digiscoping in the gloom wasn't much fun.

Cor, the light was nice today when Mike and I located the small flock of Lesser Redpolls around Lynch Lake.
