I really couldn't resist the chance to see another Garganey this evening. A drake was spotted late morning up at the North Hide at Radipole Lake and this performed much better than the previous pair a few weeks ago. Sadly it waited until almost dark to come close enough for a half decent photo but still beautiful views!

It was also good to hear a Lesser Whitethroat still singing near the wooden bridge on the way to the hide. Heres a photo of one from Lodmoor yesturday.
