Since it was such a beautiful evening, I took the short drive to Strumpshaw to complete my sawbill trio for the year with an unexpected juvenile male Smew. Although somewhat distant (on the far side of the Tower Hide scrape) it showed well in the evening sunlight. Nice to chat with Drew L and to bump into Steve & Dot: Steve was kind enough to confirm my Pallid Harrier i/d.
Other birds included Cuckoo, Common Tern (with baby pike!) Garden Warbler and several Marsh Harriers.
