I first saw this bird in November 2018 when it was at Radipole Lake, Weymouth, (see blog ) just a few hundred metres from Lodmoor! The bird, now a first summer, seems to move fairly regularly between the two sites and is hanging out with Tufted Ducks. Maybe the pitter-patter of tiny hybrid ducklings will be heard soon!
Asleep with several Tufted Ducks. The Ring-necked Duck is immediately to the right of the Cormorant.
The peaked head shape is shown well here.
A poor photo but the only one I got when the bird briefly raised it's head! The distinctive bill markings can be seen.
Nearby this Crow was tucking into a rather large dead Eel!
