Pochard at L. Cyd

During a short visit to L. Cyd this afternoon, a female Pochard flew in and proceeded to very vigorously bathe and dive for about 20 minutes. Tempting to suggest it had just completed a migration, and could it be the same bird we have seen in the last 4 winters?

Also present were 27 Cormorant gathering to roost, 70 Wigeon, 50 Teal, 19 Tufted Duck, and 1 Shelduck. 1 Great Egret and 4 Little were roosting too, and a Kingfisher used the usual perch.
