New species (for me) down at Watermead. That must be about 102 birds now, but I am actively recounting just to be sure. The Gadwall (Anas Strepera). I suspect that I have seen these before but have failed to recognise that they were not female mallards. I only noticed these were something else when I noticed a male and female together. Now very few Gadwalls actually breed in the UK so it is most likely these are just wintering here.
