News broke late Friday of a drake American Wigeon sat in front of the hide at Wilstone Reservoir mid morning. This was the first record in Herts since the late 1980’s! Sadly a host of misfortune saw that news didn’t get out until just before sunset. With this news I arrived at the hide before sunrise to join my fellow early risers but despite giving it a couple of hours and visiting all four reservoirs and College Lake there was no sign. My first dip of the year.
Consolation came in the form of adding Green Sandpiper (4) and a pair of Red-crested Pochard to the year list.
