Rutland Water 6/9/15

With a catch up with old mate Mark Maddox the previous afternoon which involved a short walk down at Caldecote looking for Wheatear and Whinchats and a pint up the Taproom,we decided on having a few hours out the next day which seen us at Rutland water Lagoon 3 held around 150 Tufted duck,Gadwall,Teal,Pochard,2 Common Snipe and about 7 Green Sanpipers.
Lagoon 2 we picked up a Greenshank for the day also a Hobby on our way to Lagoon 4,where I managed to pick out a single female Pintail and a lone Shelduck quite a few Egyptian Geese also present,unlike when I lived in North Lincolnshire these was a real scarce sight.
Had a great few hours thanks to Mark for driving !!!
