Goldeneye....first of the autumn!

 I was really pleased to find that this Goldeneye had arrived on the Lagoon. The females usually arrive before the drakes and although their plumage is not quite as resplendent, they are always a pleasure to see.




Typical wind flapping


Unfortunately it was disturbed and flew off towards the south side of the lagoon.





Hopefully it will stay for a little while and attract a passing drake.

The four Goosanders are still around and if not in the harbour mouth will be found in or near the 'old' Little Lagoon....and they are quite approachable with care!






And finally another great sun set.....
