Pied Gold

A very welcome and well overdue piece of patch gold


Only Three and a half mile north there are 4 pairs at the Wildfowl and Wetlands site, Washington
The first pair showed up 6 or 7 year ago, but we havnt had a sniff on the home patch till now -
a super addition to local lists.

    Nice!- always satisfying to get a 'new' bird on the local patch!
