Beginners luck.

After once again, meeting up with that "sharp" eyed man called Phil, he gave me a tip off on where to locate the Goosander. So the following day, I parked up in the main car park at Leybourne lakes, and started my trek through the snow. I met a couple of chaps on the way, but they had no luck in spotting the Goosander, so I thought that was it then! But I was in luck, I did see it at Steamside, and managed to get some long range photos, although poor light. I then carried on down the Millstream, and also shot some pics of a couple of Snipe. Time wasnt on my side, so I made my way back the same route, and I thought I might just check to see if that goosander was still in the same area...beginners luck, because the Goosander showed well for me.
The following photos tell the story...Cheers.
