The Goosander appear to have moved on unfortunately. I haven't seen the male in over a week and the female or imm was last seen early monday morning. I doubt I will have such a stunning bird from the studio window again for a long time!

I was very lucky that the Goosander returned on the dropping tide on Saturday and Sunday. It was a pleasure to be able to enjoy what is usually such a shy bird from the studio window!
