And look what I found!
I wandered into the wader scrape hided and saw a duck. And I thought "hello what are you" the obvious answer was Garganey but I thought it a bit early! Well here you go.
I wandered to the peacock tower in search of a birder with a scope so I could confirm it! I put a chap on it and sure enough a Garganey!! Nice! I'm guessing first winter male.
I know a few people who frequent Barnes and look who turned up, Josh and his Granny - Oh I'll suffer for that!!
I took Tricia and Josh to where the Vole was unfortunately for Tricia her son phoned for instructions on cooking roast beef.....
well have some more!
Lots of these chaps about....
I apologize for lots of shots of this little cutey

The Vole...what a perfectly beautiful creature. Great shots you got of him or her.
Cute Vole. Reminds me of Tales from the Riverbank, but then I'm old.
