Ring-necked Duck - Carsington Water

 A female Ring-necked Duck was found at Carsington Water on 17th November but wasn't seen again until it was refound at the Millfields end of the reservoir this morning. I saw it this afternoon in very wet overcast weather.

It's only the second record for Carsington and was showing well this afternoon, associating with a small group of Tufted Duck.

With another period of poor weather I haven't seen much else; a Little Egret was on the river at Chatsworth on Friday and I've seen a Pink-footed Goose with the Canada Geese at Bakewell several times. A female Pochard spent several days on the Whitworth Park Lake but left when the lake iced over.

At least 6 Hawfinch were aeen at Cromford on 18th November but I've not looked for them yet.
