Today we had the most fanatastic view from Gullery hide - a splendid male garganey! There were few reports from the weekend saying he's been spotted before now. At times he was very easy to loose when you took your eyes off him - sneaky devil - which is surprising given his striking white eye stripe!

He was there for most of the morning and I'm sure a view regulars birders managed to pop by to see him. I wonder how long this passing visit will last?
