Brilliant, dead chuffed for you Derby, they are amazing birds.
Cheers jacdaw, definitely not teal then, I have definitively seen teal on the Clwyd by that description as they were noticeably smaller. Going back to my original thinking of wigeon, just wish I could find one photo that says to me, yup, that is the one, rather than me thinking 90% that is the one. I am enjoying finding out though :D

GSW drumming away in the mist, Song Thrush practicing counting to three, Snowdrops peeking out - must be time for winter to arrive.

Heavy snow must be just round the corner. I am seeing birds in pairs everywhere. They'll be huddling up to keep warm soon

I saw a ring-necked parakeet on my run on Sunday. I know you get quite a few in England but I've never seen one before. My mother was then telling me how she saw two green birds in her garden and they almost looked like parrots. I reckon they were the ones I saw.

I've also seen a pair of mandarin ducks a couple of times recently and on Saturday what looked like a brown heron which I later found out was a Eurasian Bittern. It's been a good week my way for bird watching.

The River Roding in Loughton, Essex. I read that they're one of the most threatened bird species in Britain so I must have been lucky to see one.
I often see a lot of herons around there and there is a resident egret in the stream and fields at the bottom of my road.

They tend to skulk in reedbeds, so a lot of the time they can be seen and not heard.
