Ring-necked duck, Martin Mere

There's been a ring-necked duck at Martin Mere for over a week now which would be a new Martin Mere tick for me, but obviously I've been to Cyprus for a while, so today was the earliest I could get to see it.

I reckon it's most likely the same bird that has been in St Helens for the past two winters, but which was first seen at Mere Sands Wood in 2024.

This brings my Martin Mere total to 192 species.

Sparrowhawk.
