Mandarin at Connaught waters.

A quick walk around Connaught water today just to get a photo of the Mandarin Ducks that are in good numbers on the waters. No sign of the Smew today.                        
After getting a photo I take a trip over to Rainham after the White-fronted Goose that has been reported there today. Howard tells me that they have been seen near Purfleet hide, but on the way to the hide a fellow tells me that they had just been sent up by a lorry working on the site. I walk around the reserve scanning all the Geese on the water but as it turns out nobody gets any more views while I am here, the only tick for today is a Rock Pipit. A bit sad but still a nice couple of hours spent  here.
