I saw the Welney one too. I got there late on the day on 12/12/1997 and Bill Oddie was there filming and he put me onto it amongst about 6,000 Pochards.

I have also saw the one that was at Abberton Reservoir on 11/12/1999. The Pennington Flash one was out of context date wise as I saw it on 23/07/2002, so could we be due another one somewhere?
