Observation details
Despite it unthinkably not being bird of the day, my old friend and favourite species of bird on the planet was yet again in extremely contented form, pottering around in amongst the Teals on their various roosting islands, and even wading right up to its belly in amongst the far larger Ducks as they dozed!! I suspect it's planning to leave for Alaska soon enough, for it's become noticeably portlier (thus even more proportionately pleasing than before!!) and was showing no signs of giving up its blissful life of probing the waters and then thoroughly primping and preening (as this particular Pectoral is inordinately fond of doing)!!! What a lovely and memorable time it was!!
