Just when you think that it's not worth visiting Tower hide because it's June you suddenly get a surprise. I was delighted to spot 2 trios of ducks which qualify as 'goodies' (well, semi-goodies?) on the Axe. Firstly, 3
Gadwall swam past upriver. Nice. Then, I spotted a 1stSummer
Med Gull flying down the estuary which landed just beyond 3 sawbills - which I
think were all
juvenile Goosander. (Bold, Italic & Underline all in one sentence; these IT lessons are paying off!) Anyhow, here's some video of the ducks plus a couple of snaps.

Hi Tim. Too early for juv Goosander I reckon (should still be sat on Mums back) so good chance these are part of the original gang that have been around since April?
