American Wigeon, Penworthham


A 1st winter drake American wigeon has been on the River Ribble at Penwortham, Preston for a few days. I failed to see it on my first visit on Saturday when it was flushed by a boat just a few minutes before I arrived, but today I was more or less straight onto it, and even more amazingly the sun came out for half and hour while I watched it on an otherwise dull day. It's the lefthand bird in these photos.
