Still present today spending most of its time in the bottom bay, sleeping or preening. Since finding this bird on Wednesday I have spent about 13 hours at the mere and in this time I have never seen the bird dive, it appears to be healthy and the Pochard & Tufted Duck with which it is associates spend periods feeding, interspersed with sleeping & preening? Does anyone have any thoughts on this? |
