American Wigeon

'but you see sir. My medium is light....'

' Good point. Tell you what, we'll put up a couple of flares: You'll be lit up like a Christmas tree!'

Another overcast and showery day that progressively became duller during the afternoon. I didn't have any flares which was just as well as they would have flushed the smart drake American Wigeon that had been found at Scotney late morning. Around midday the light conditions were not too bad but quickly deteriorated as heavy showers came in from the south west. The American Wigeon was initially found in Kent in the bay near to Scotney Farm track but gradually moved down the pit and ended up in the late afternoon at the East Sussex end of the pit and always part of a large flock of Eurasian Wigeon. 

Part of the large flock of several thousand Lapwing behind Scotney near the location of the proposed South Brooks solar farm.
