Third time lucky today as we finally caught up with a ring-necked duck, a drake on Chasewater in Staffordshire, following failures at Tittesworth Reservoir and Glastonbury earlier in the year. It was an immaculate bird, well worth the wait. Also today four swallows and a house martin with at least 100 sand martins, and two Sandwich terns.
Year: 180 (Ring-necked duck, swallow, Sandwich tern)
