Local pottering

At Girton this morning, several broods of Tufted Ducks, and also an unseasonal Goldeneye on the Sailing Lake; this looked a bit odd, but was in heavy moult (lacking all flight feathers) and seemed to be an eclipse drake. To continue my recent dipping form, I then failed to find any Purple Hairstreaks at a spot where I found them for the first time last year.

Goldeneye

All was quiet at Collingham Pits - no waders other than some invisible (calling) LRPs on Ferry Lane Lake, but there was an adult Yellow-legged Gull there.
