Pair of Smew at Minsmere

On Sunday 13th February, I drove down to Minsmere and saw the fine pair of Smew (male and female, first male for a few years) by the Mound pools for all of 5 minutes before they flew onto the West scrape (south- eastern corner). A look from North hide failed to reveal them. Several 5 Pintails and 30 Black- tailed Godwits seen distantly, pity I didn't stay as I missed out on a Jack Snipe here later on.
