First, hopefully of many to come, Wigeon on Red Nab

A couple of overnight showers followed by heavy rain starting at 06:00 easing by 08:30. After that it remained dry with sunny spells. A SW wind.

I checked the foreshore and Red Nab just as the morning rain was easing, hoping the rain had grounded something.

But it didn't stop it singing

An evening walk along the sea wall produced little to add.

The Wigeon, or another one, was on the beach near the wooden jetty
