Duck Pairs

At Mill Lakes this morning, two male Shelduck were the highlight, with a pair of Ruddy Duck being a close second. Two male Gadwall were also on the lake. The male Garden Warbler on Willow Island was holding territory, and at least two singing male Reed Warbler were near the Reedbed Boardwalk with another oddly singing from the small patch of reeds between Grassy Bank and Mud Island. A pair of Tree Sparrow were in the hedgerow along the Spinney Path.
