Unexpected Goosanders - but no Iceland Gull

Linda has been spending a few days with her grandchildren in Coventry: just before I went to pick her up from Norwich Bus Station the pager announced that an Iceland Gull was showing well at Whitlingham Country Park. I knew there wasn't time to pop over before meeting Linda's bus, and thought it would probably be dark by the time she arrived: I didn't bother taking my camera. In the event the bus arrived earlier than expected and Lin suggested stopping at WCP on the way home. 

A brisk walk from the car park revealed just two birders on site - but fortunately these were Steve Smith and Dot Machin. They pointed out a group of two - then four - redhead Goosanders, but hadn't seen the gull. Steve kindly let us take a good luck at these most welcome sawbills with his 'scope before leaving. Linda and I stayed on a little longer and were able to enjoy the Goosanders at closer range as they swam towards us before flying towards the island. Linda grabbed a couple of shots with her 'phone: you can pick out the Goosanders in the first two - honest, Guv!
