Rather stupidly I decided to walk from home to Scotney, I spent 3 hours peering through the drizzle and seeing very little but got a soaking. All the usual feral Geese were present , along with 100s of Lapwing, Golden Plover, Wigeon and a single Ruff, but no sign of the Long-tailed Ducks, though it was quite difficult to see the far side of the lake in the murky conditions.

ReplyDeleteMatthew 13 [4] And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
Revelation 13 [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
