This is the first one I have managed to see in 5 years of regularly monitoring the patch!<br /><br />Craig - Its a great patch bird and a welcome tick for me. I am still dreaming of finding a Firecrest, Short Eared Owl aor a Wryneck. I wonder if I know any local patch birders round these parts who have had those ;-)Jason Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370640317306824066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657877595796583471.post-17283912850643808272012-03-05T09:45:41.283-08:002012-03-05T09:45:41.283-08:00Nice one on the Pochard!
