The re-opening of the path to the screen overlooking Loxton's on Ham Wall RSPB (closed previously due to flooding), immediately got a result when a drake Ring-necked Duck was found there this morning. This is most likely the bird that was around when the Pied-billed Grebe was first discovered, but has not been seen since 26th March. It's probably been here all along, just hiding in some un-viewable patch of water.

| The very indistinct grey wing-bar is a good identification feature in flight. Tufted Duck show a very prominent white wing-bar |
Elsewhere on the Avalon Marshes, a few spring-like sights were complementing the lovely sunny weather:

| Mallard duckling |

| Willow Warbler in full song |
