Latest Sightings - 21st October
There has been an American duck on the Folly Pond the past few days. A drake Green-winged Teal has appeared. It's behaviour is very similar to the individual which has been seen here the past 2 winters so we expect it is the same one.
He can be identified by the vertical white stripe down each side of the body near the head. See photo below from last year...
Today's high tide is at 18:54 7.7m
