Birdlife at the Lido

I walked down to the village lido this morning to see if we have any visiting birds. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything different. It's a bit sparce at this time of the year. However, the lovely male red crested pochard is still with us. As they are a bit unusual to see in these parts, their presence is sometimes due to escaping from perhaps a private collection or a deliberate release, but could just be a wayward visitor. He always swims with the mallards without any problem.
