Sheepwash- Duck Influx

30/11/11
A visit to the Urban Mecca produced an influx in duck numbers, at the forefront, a Very large flock of 52 POCHARD. The flock contained more females than before so i am presuming that the influx is due to females arriving?
11 TEAL were seen from the raised path where they show very well (there starting to get used to walking people now!)
16 Tufted duck were on the main Pumphouse pool and johns lane pool,
Also on Johns lane pool, was a flock of 3 female GOOSANDERS.

A Grey Wagtail was showing on the river.
