Not too far over the border......

Chris Heard discovered a drake RING-NECKED DUCK at Bray Gravel Pits, Maidenhead, yesterday afternoon, the bird still being present with 236 Tufted Ducks and 41 Northern Pochards today. It represents the 13th Ring-necked Duck for the county since the first in 1958

No Bewick's Swans but MERGANSER and SLAV still present

Robert Norris had a family party of 4 BEWICK'S SWANS fly SE over Lathbury this morning whilst my visit to North Bucks produced nothing more than the drake RED-BREASTED MERGANSER and 3 drake GOOSANDERS on Caldecotte North Lake and the SLAVONIAN GREBE and 3 Goldeneye on Willen Lake South Basin. It did give me the opportunity to get some more images of both birds though
