Bad light stops play

I had a trip out after work today, but by the time I'd got to Collingham I only had an hour or so before dusk - not like the summer where you can get back from work and still enjoy a long evening's birding!

Anyway, best was a female Red-crested Pochard on Triangle Pit - Carl has had this bird recently (and a second whilst I was on Foula), but this is the first time I've caught up with it. There were decent numbers of Common Pochard present as well (although I didn't count them), plus 71 Wigeon and a few Shoveler. Wader-wise, there were 2 Green Sands and 58 Golden Plover, the latter on the Silt Lagoon. Four Little Egrets, a fly-over Grey Wagtail, and a yelping Little Owl rounded things off.
