Blunham Wigeon

I thought this looked a bit odd so wondered if it was a hybrid with a Gadwall - very dark 'Gadwall grey' for a normal Wigeon.

Willington.

Myself and Sarah took a walk around here this morning, on the fishing lake we saw the single Common Sandpiper. On the main water there were good numbers of Wigeon, a pair of Oystercatcher flew over and there were 15+ Sand martins. A pair of Shelduck on the pit to the left as you walk from the stile and around the surrounding bushes and trees at least 6 Chiffchaff.

A strange looking Wigeon at Radwell today. This bird was with about 350 other Wigeon on the 'Razorbill Lake' under the railway bridge. Photo by Richard Bashford
