Much against my better judgement (a strong cold wind was blowing) I headed off to the local patch Marsh Lane again this morning.In fairness I did have to go out in any case to pick up a parcel.
Stayed there for well over an hour got very cold and didn't see very much.The day was saved by a pair of Goosanders on the CP pool.Marsh Lane is good for Goosanders in the winter but what was different this morning was that for a change they were close to the hide.I've never seen them this close here before.
At first the pair were resting on an island.
After a fair wait they stood up and moved around a bit.
They then entered the water and started to cruise a bit closer.
Just as they threatened to come close they both flew off.No keepers as it was a bit gloomy but very nice to see them fairly close.
