Observation details
Tom and I spotted the Eurasian Wigeon shortly after arrival in a mixed flock of ducks [Gadwall, American Wigeon, with Black Ducks, Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead and Long-tailed Duck etc. nearby]. A boat flushed it around 12:25. We checked spots further west (where it appeared to fly) and came back several times later but the E. Wigeon was not in the flock of Gadwall and Wigeon it had been with. Note reddish head, creamy crown-stripe, gray sides and back. See photo from quite a distance.
