Whilst in Lincs yesterday a couple of the local patch workers found a Fudge Duck on Holyfield Lake in Lea Valley country park but we couldn’t get back in time so had planned to look for it this morning.<\/p>\n

I set off on a solo run and despite thick fog managed to get on the Fudge by around 9am following a tip from another bird regarding the area the bird liked best. A quick call to let the Jims know it was still there and then I managed to get a couple of half decent record shots before it drifted away and became very elusive hiding in the overhanging branches of the islands for most of the morning.<\/p>\n

Nice bumping into Bob again and Paul W for the second time in two days.<\/p>\n
