A bit of snow to shift this morning to get the car on to Bradshaw Lane, while shovelling a Curlew was calling from Bradshaw fields which was a pleasant accompaniment.
A busy morning shopping (again) and another great morning grapevine text from B.S. of a Mandarin Duck at Ogden.
Sue dropped me at Ogden late afternoon into frequent showers.
A look through the Mallards from the promenade failed to find the Mandarin.
After a circuit of the water I arrived back at the promenade from the north end and caught sight of the Mandarin asleep with the Mallard.
It soon woke up though.
