Thanks for checking Brian. Hopefully it's relocated south of the county, perhaps at Longdon Marsh

Hi Brian. This visual effect is due to poor quality of the video where grey can appear whitish, the horizontal bar was distinctly grey, not white in the field, so correct for Green-winged. Presumably no news on the bird today?

Though always distant, here's some phonescope video of the drake Green-winged Teal at Clifton main pit today with around 200 Eurasian Teal & still present at dusk. No sign of the Ring-necked Duck today. #WorcsBirds

Yes indeed, but surprisingly still no Diver species recorded, where as Ripple Pits has had 4 Great Northern & Red-throated.

Arrow Valley Lake, Redditch is available for counting for WeBS. Easy access to this public park & a good chance of something interesting turning up. Recent past has included Black Throated Diver. Goldeneye & Goosander are regular. Link here if; app.bto.org/websonline/s... #worcsbirds
