Pink Goosander

I've had no luck at Petworth Park for Goosanders recently although four, 3 m & 1 f, were there on the sixth of January but the news wasn't put out by someone who should have known better...Also no definitive sighting at Church Norton for me (see previous post) so I was pleased when Paul James tweeted that the drake Goosander was back at Widewater this morning. An absolute cracker of a bird it was too, superbly pink of hue.
