I haven’t been to Shibdon Ponds for ages and with reports of a pair of Mandarin Duck there I thought I would have a look. Unfortunately, the Mandarins weren’t around while I was there but there was a canny female Goldeneye. Once again nothing much on the ponds at Far Pastures but the Gadwall that has been there for a while put on a show as did the Little Grebe. The lane was once again the most productive place.

Little Grebe. It looks as though it’s after something.
