For most people a Ferruginous Duck is nothing exciting, but this cute visitor turned up in Lydiard Park in Swindon. I've never seen one before - so it was a short drive of around 30 mins to try and pick up a local 'Year and Life Tick.
Thankfully it was showing well in the sunshine and I picked up Yeartick no. 139 :o)
The Leach's Petrol hadnt been seen at Theale that day, so didnt need to walk cluelessly around a Gravel Pit... and the Red Flanked Blue Tail in Swanage will have to come a lot closer if it wants to meet me... decided that I'm not gonna chase all over the Country for one bird... Shoot me if I do!!!
