Mudbath at Carlton & finally a Lowestoft American Wigeon!

On sunday 8th February in the afternoon, after some much needed sustanance, I took the long walk out to the south- western corner of Peto's, as I was walking along the bund, it was really good to have a brief catch up with Paul & Sara, who kindly showed me the Rossicus Bean, the Tundra Bean Goose in their scope, a lovely bird. It was with around 20 Greylag and 10 Canada Geese plus 2 Egyptian Geese. I carried on reaching the end and then walking north for 50 metres until I joined the throng of people, as usual Paul & Jane F were leaving, Carl b. very kindly let me see the bird, a fine American Wigeon, asleep amongst some Wigeon behind a clumpy wisp of grass. 2 Great white Egrets, 5 Little Egrets and 5 Black- tailed Godwits seen around the Wigeon and the lapwing.
