Garganey Newport

Yes, a stunning male Garganey with Teal upstream from the Iron Bridge. So exotic looking that I initially assumed an escape & came home to consult Peter Scott's Key to the Wildfowl of the World.
Also a M Goosander, & while we (me, Karen & Janet) were looking 5 Wheatears flew in including a possible Greenland.
