Spent the morning (14th) at Martin Mere WWT today hoping for a bit of wader passage and maybe one of the Garganeys that had been hanging around of late. Little disappointing really but great views of Tawny Owl at the traditional roost site near the Gladstone Hide. So it was nice to get a text saying there was a drake Garganey at Brockholes Quarry on No 1 Pit. It was a little bit distant and constantly getting harassed by Mallards and Coots, but very nice nonetheless. A smart drake Goosander, Wigeon and a pair of Gadwall completed the selection of quackers. About time we had a Ruddy Duck too.

Still a few waders passing through, including Ringed Plover and this summer plumaged Dulin on No 1 Pit. Just the one Whimbrel at the quarry tonight - the Spring gathering is well and truely over.
