Confusing Aytheas on the Trinity Broads

Since I had a hairdresser's appointment in Acle at midday, I thought I'd pop over to Ormesby-Rollesby-Filby for a bash at the reported Ferruginous Ducks and Scaup. In the event there was a negative report from Ormesby, so I parked at Filby Bridge and checked out the two huge rafts of Coots and ducks on either side of the road. Everything was a fair way off, but I reckon I found at least one Fudge Duck, possibly another hybrid. There was also a reasonable Scaup candidate and, even more bizarrely, a sleeping duck that had the pectoral 'flash' of a Ring-necked Duck...

Nice to see several Buzzards, Marsh Harriers and a Kingfisher.
