A wander around the north and east side of the parish this morning, in glorious sunshine. In all 30 bird species with the undoubted highlight being a first year teal. First seen on the dragonfly pond east of Hadham Hall but dog walkers flushed it before I could get a photo. Flew off high to the west and looked like it dropped down on to the pond at the Hall. 2 distant flight shots here, along with moorhen, black headed gull and a pair of goldfinches. The teal is only my 2nd paqrish record, following a similar 1st year bird recorded 7th October 2009.
