12th October 2009 – A Jay & a Teal

The afternoon started well when a Jay flew over the garden, this was a new ‘garden record’!

The weather was bright and sunny, so Kath and I made a short trip to Siddick Ponds.
On arrival it was not long before I located the female Pintail and drake Green-winged Teal that had been on the pond for the past few days.
The Green-winged Teal showed reasonably well, though frustratingly it was roosting with its head tucked in most of the time!

It was soon time to head back to Wigton to pick the girls up from school!
