There's been a drake hooded merganser on Whinfell tarn near Kendal for a
couple of weeks and today I finally got chance to call in for a look.
It's been associating with tufted ducks and even displaying. What a smart bird
it is, straight onto my North West list at number 377. It's the third hooded
merganser I've seen in the UK and at least one of the others was accepted so
the pressure is off regarding it's origin and I'm quite happy to count it.
