I counted 35 Mandarin duck between the single arch bridge and the house which included several family parties. Many of the young are fully feathered and independent of their parents but some are still small and downy and are perhaps second broods.
A few Redstart along the river bank and still a pair of Spotted Flycatcher but it felt almost autumnal in the cooler wet weather.
