Shirke is going to kick himself now   MIKE

The category C population somewhat diminishes the attraction of these for me - but then pretty much all of the ones seen in my area can be attributed to a breeding feral population. I have seen some that I believe were wild, an October influx into Essex some years ago, and some of the others I've seen may have been.
Anyway, they are attractive ducks, I hope that you enjoyed seeing it - and I'm sure that you won't "rub it in" too much with 'Shrike'!
