CWP rarities / scarcities

30 Oct - A productive weekend at CWP. Nigel Pleass found a North American rarity, drake Ring-necked Duck at pit 74, which was rather distant but viewable from the old hide. Distinctive once found with the Tufted Duck and Pochard, but diving a lot, presumably recently arrived and hungry! There were also 7 Whooper Swans at pit 132, one of which stayed around with the Mute Swan flock. Marsh Harriers are still being reported, but I've yet to catch up with one of the current birds.
