    It's a shame the photo doesn't show this due to extreme "photo artifect".

    The recent possible first summer male American Wigeon has proven to a female Eurasian Wigeon (or hybrid). See here for discussion and picture.

    The key feature to note is the Axillaries which are bright white on Yank Wigeon. Overlap in other characters I believe.

    Rare and Scarce Birds in Staffordshire

    Access is easy:- from A518 take road signposted to quarry (at a crossroads) and the car park is a short distance on left. The walk to hide is about 10 minutes with wellies pretty much essential. Viewing is generally bad to awful with many ducks a long way away (or not on view). I struck lucky...

    It's just that Birdguides' inflexible system do not (appear to) allow a site to be in more than one county. I know our boundary expert has pointed this out to them ;-)
