So it was back at Ivy Lake, Chichester Gravel Pits, this morning for another go at the wildfowl! On the way down I spotted not one but two
Egyptian Geese by one of the isalnds so that was a good start at redemption from yesterday dips! After a few quick snaps I cycled down the track to the path between Ivy & Copse Lakes to view the islands ahead and on arrival was fortunate to bump into DP, MP & ARK who had the
Red-crested Pochards in view...well sort of. These birds are super elusive and don't like venturing much out from the hide away under the submerged branches; many thanks to DP for the look through his scope without which I probably wouldn't have connected! A look later on did at least produce two of the worst record shots you are likely to see! A text from SR then alerted me to the
White-fronted Goose on East Trout Lake and it showed well on the north-west bank; clean sweep, not too bad!
