Ferruginous Duck








Finally managed to catch up with this duck after visiting Far Ings 3 times - 3rd time lucky! Another new year tick for Karen bringing her 2012 tally to 217. This 'Big Year' hasn't been easy thats for sure.

There seemed to be a working party on the reserve. Pity they didn't cut the path back leading to Pursuit Hide which is just about unwalkable, or even cut the vegetation that totally blocks all views from the hide, the same as it does in the Miles Hopper hide. I suppose being able to view any birds from the birdhides is just not what the Lincs Trust is about.........now if it involved sheep that would be a different matter.

A text from the Donny Birders with 2 Pec Sands saw us dashing off into Yorkshire and then Notts to see these. Very distant but still another 2012 bird for Karen, making it 218.
