| Drake mandarin |
I took advantage of the decent weather (once the morning's downpour stopped) for a quick hour's wander round Etherow Country Park to enjoy the mandarin ducks and to see if there were any dippers about. Family commitments meant I had one eye on the clock so I didn't have a wander round Keg Wood.

The river was very high after the past few day's rain so not only weren't there any dippers about there wasn't anything at all on the water. Luckily the ponds were teeming with birds. The cormorants loafing on the islands on the big pond included four
sinensis.
