Warsash & Fawley

Another fairly early start to get down Warsash before Emma had to be in college for her drama rehearsals, the Long-tailed Duck showed well, even though it was in dull light, this is the first time I have had the oppertunity to photograph this species, so I was happy with any result. The Duck soon moved onto The Solent.

I then went into College with Emma, and waited in the car for at least hours before she was done....thats what type of good boyfriend I am haha. But was rewarded with a second attempt at the Red-crested Pochard...that I dipped yet again.....but hey, there was Mallards!!
