An Unexpected Addition to the List

Well I wasn't expecting to get Goldeneye on my photo patch yearlist! It's a rare bird on patch and if seen at all it's usually on the sea and hence not really photographable. This morning Ian M found one on the estuary, a female, which remained frustratingly near to the far bank but did have a little fly about too. I got a few shots for the list and although one would easily suffice, such a rare occurrence does deserves a few more, doesn't it?

Spring is in the air!
