New pancake

After yesterday, back to grey. No sign of Black Redstart at Fort Cumberland altough police dog units were on site - presumably they use this sh#t hole for training! From the ferry a single Shag.

Further round at Broadmarsh the Long-tailed Duck took a short flight before landing and bathing and the Great Northern Diver came up with a crab or somesuch. Most grebes and mergs etc were just too far away to pick out much. A group of ten Goldeneyes featured three displaying males tossing their heads back. Passerine-wise just singles of Rock Pipit and Grey Wagtail.

Back home the 50mm Canon pancake lens was on the doormat. Looks pretty sharp so far.
