Twitching

Finally relented and went for the Green-winged Teal at Newburgh Priory lake. A smart drake, feeding constantly with c30 Teal and allowing good comparisons. Darker grey body noted and yellow border to green head patch only along the bottom edge. When actively upending and hence low in the water with a high tail, it was interesting to note that the top end of the white breast stripe could still be seen.
