Test.
Last night on clearance I spotted a great bird on site - a male goosander swimming right in front of Paddy's Hide, as I was counting the curlew roost (670 birds btw!).
At Washington, goosander are normally found on the river from late autumn/winter, so seeing one so close on Wader Lake was fantastic.
Also around last night were two barn owl and four tawny owl.
