More Plastic Wildfowl

I noticed a weird looking duck about a month ago at Newton Abbot quay, but just assumed it was a hybrid Mallard. However, the other day a Kev received a report of a Comb Duck from the quay, and after a closer look, it seems that's what it is.


This place seems to be a magnet for dodgy wildfowl. There is a wildfowl collection at the Mare and Foal Sanctuary nearby, so perhaps that's where they're coming from.

Big Bill
I met Robin at Passage House, however there wasn't much there, so we headed to Flow Point where we saw 198 Oystercatcher, Curlew, Whimbrel, a Black-tailed Godwit, a Redshank, seven Ringed Plover, 14 Dunlin and 10+ Sandwich Terns.
