Went to the small hide at the top end of Blagdon Lake, to find that most of the ducks had drifted quite far out. Within half an hour I located the eclipse-plumage male LESSER SCAUP in amongst tufted ducks and coots. Due to distance and poor lighting, I was only able to eliminate a hybrid duck after it flapped its wings. Also, the car flushed a family of 3 green woodpeckers up from the road.
A quick scan of Herriot's Pool, Chew Valley Lake produced nothing more than 2 Great Black-Backed Gulls, a Common Sandpiper and the flock of Black-Tailed Godwits.
