A whoosh net was set up today at North Duffield following the large numbers of Mallard now present on the Top Pond. Beforehand the brood of Tufted Ducks that have eluded us for the last couple of weeks were paddling amongst the reeds when we arrived, a net was quickly set up along the far side from the island to the banking, three young and the adult female were present. Today must have been our lucky day as one of the young swam straight into the net! Making it the first one to be caught on the reserve this year.
Finally!
Juvenile Tufted Duck
