A large number of Gadwell at Titchfield Haven yesterday morning. Details are from the RSPB website – “The Gadwall is a very grey-coloured dabbling duck, a little smaller than the mallard, and with an obvious black rear end. It shows a white wing patch in flight. When seen close up the grey colour is made up of exquisitely fine barring and speckling. It nests in low numbers in the UK and is an Amber List species” These ducks spent a lot of time with their bottoms in the air and their heads under water looking for food.
REFLECTIONS FROM MY WORLD 
At least the water is clearer than at the Creek at Council Point Park. It is so dark and murky, I have no clue how the ducks find aquatic plants unless they wear goggles!
