Puddleducks

Humdrum at The Mall of late... and pissing down.

Which is tedious, but did result in a whopping great puddle/mini-lake in the field across the way that had a Whopper Schwan sitting on it one morning in early December, along with a small flock of wigeon, a gadwal (year tick) and a pintail (full fat patch tick).

Very ropey phone-scoped record shot of the Whopper on the whopping great puddle


That takes me stumbling to 87 for the year... or 99.62%. As I'm heading off-patch for Christmas/New Year on Sunday, that's probably me done for 2018 -- barring an errant flyover or two over the next couple of days.

So congrats to the winner... commiserations to the rest of you losers... see you in January when it's back to square one.
