No sign of ring-necked duck
1 female-type scaup.
1 Goosander (f)
Apparently the ring-necked duck that was seen a few days ago was a male and so could not have been the long-standing Port Meadow escapee. Badger and I went to check it out today but there was no sign of it. However there was a female-type scaup there which presumably is the same one that was at Donnington bridge recently.
