Female Tufted Duck

Tad windy today. Spent too much time staring at a computer screen but did finally write back to Blurb pointing out that they'd got the wrong end of the stick over my misprinted books and that it wasn't because I couldn't use Bookwright but because they'd fouled up over the printing.

Finally got out with Baz just before 5 pm. Unlike yesterday, I didn't feel up to two circuits. 

Saw this duck and got excited. Not a mallard, not a Mandarin, and it was brown with white flashes on the wings.

Only when I got home did I realise it was a female tufted duck with no mate.

Then my battery expired so that was the end of photography today.
