It was a number of years since i had seen a Ring-necked Duck,with the last being a 2nd calendar year Drake at Tophill Low in February 2013 and being a fan of the species i decided to go over and take a look.
After parking at the old visitor centre car park,i got the kit together and had a steady stroll around to where the bird had been seen and sure enough on arrival he was still present with his adopted Pochard flock(Every RND i have seen,has been with or paired to a Pochard).
Some nice views were gained of the bird as he swam around the pit,mainly actively feeding,interspersed with a few bouts of preening his pristine plumage.
This is no doubt the bird which has been present for a few weeks prior to this occurrance,at Bagmoor Lake near to Winterton.A nice few hours out today,re-aquainting myself with this smart species of American duck.
