Couldn't resist the chance of a "lifer"on the final day of the year, so decided to go for the Drake Ferruginous Duck at Brookleys Lake.
Arrived at 1.15pm and after a short time scanning the various ducks, managed to find it on the far bank where it was giving some really good views through the 'scope.
A cracking bird and one I have been after for a while now, so a great bird to end the year with!!
