As Toyah once sang. The mystery is thus. On Sunday a drake Wigeon was found dead on the bank at HGF. On Monday morning I couldn't find the usual drake Wigeon at HGF - I didn't know about the dead bird at the time (I have subsequently seen it) and wasn't paying a lot of attention anyway. Monday evening a drake Wigeon was present and is still there today. So is the dead bird the drake that decided to remain from the winter flock? If so, where did the bird currently swimming around the pool come from? Or is the dead bird a stranger, and if so, where did it come from? Interesting eh!

Not much to report. Pair of Yellow Wags on the pool yesterday and a single Black-necked Grebe on the water today. A mooch around Neumann's Flash on the way home this evening yielded surprisingly little although a Lesser Whitethroat was particularly noisy in a sheltered bit of hedge. A male Sparrowhawk paid a visit to the garden this evening. Working all week in N Wales this week so birding opportunities severely curtailed.
