Smew, Lunt Meadows


This fabulous drake smew turned up at Lunt Meadows yesterday, so this morning I called in for a look on my way to Martin Mere. It was always fairly distant, usually hugging the distant bank, but it did once come fairly close to one of the screens allowing me to get a photo that is at least recognisable as a smew!


I then headed off to Great White pool where the drake green-winged teal was still present, though asleep on the bank. A couple of times I saw the smew flying around and finally relocated it on Pumphouse pool.
