Hey up folks, finally managed a brief visit to Utch this afternoon after various family duties and the WEBs Duck Hunt meant that there was no way i was goin' to get to Chasewater for the Scandinavian Rock Pip's(not seen this race before) that were showin' well on the dam accordin' to me pager. Typical eh! The first time for a while summat turns up that's interestin' enough to get me away from Utch and there's no chance of me gettin' within sniffin' distance of a tertial, never mind an undertail covert. Then again sniffin' undertail coverts could be a bit messy owd duck.
Duck numbers at Utch are droppin' quicker than the water levels despite the best efforts of the management. So hopefully all bodes well for a nice sprinkling of waders as they begin to move north over the next couple of months.
Nothin' of note today, only the fact that Coots are now in double figures!!! Pied Wag's again noticeable with 27 around the site but no sign of any "alba" wag's yet.
Tufty 17
Pochard 7
Mallard 78
Wigeon 44
Teal 3
Goosander 35
Curlew 8
Oyst' 2
Green Sand' 1
Stocker's 5
Pied Wag' 27
That's all folks.
