Today it was obvious how high the water had been this month, an distinct 'tideline' showing on the main island reed bed.
I will look back at March 2013 as the month of one day ducks, fly over Goosander 10th, male Pintail 11th, female Smew 14th, but at least the pair of Mandarin stayed a few days.
The month species total is on 92 and 100 for the year, both 3rd highest scores, the rankings are;
