Goosander
On 1st Jan, I was at the RSPB Reserve and picked up 28 Greater White-fronted Geese flying around Dengemarsh and the Hayfields before heading off over towards the MOD ranges.
Normally I seem to jinx trying to see Goosander, generally failing when they turn up in the area, however this time two redheads at Scotney decided to stay long enough for me to see them before flying off whilst I was still there.
The four Black-necked Grebes which are usually spread out the length of Scotney main pit were all together and did a very welcome close swim past.
The 1w Scaup, likely a drake, was also fairly close and mostly asleep amongst the resting flock of Wigeon, Tufted Duck and Pochard. It eventually woke up.
